I'm working on an application which simulates a football game. So, I have football matches which will start at a certain time.

For example, a match could take place at 25 May, 20:00 o' clock. How can I tell to Spring to start the method which simulates the match?

I'am using Spring MVC and Apache Tomcat. (+ Spring Data JPA and Hibernate). Who can tell me some ideas and advices?

Thank you in advance.
