Is there away to create alert that pops up like MS Messenger when certain condition is met? For example, when someone's birthday stored in an Oracle database falls on today, the alert pops up? Is it possible to create such alerts in Java? Java Script? I am aware that there is probably a way to do that from Oracle, but can that functionality be exported to be embeded in an application (written in VB or Java)? Can it be written as a windows service? Any input is greatly appreciated...

Hi Herkulis,
I may be misinterpreting your question, but since version 1.3 of the J2SE, there are the java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask classes.
Are you familiar with them? Do they not help you?
There is also the Using the Timer and TimerTask Classes section in the Java Tutorial.
Good Luck,
Avi.
