title: What tools are there for timed batch processes in Java EE?
body: <p>My employer just asked me to run a timed batch process in a Java EE WebSphere application they have running. It's supposed to run a certain class at 11:30 pm everyday.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not very familiar with Java EE nor WebSphere server (or tomcat, in the development environment), and I've been digging around but all I've found is about the java timer class but not how to set it or invoke it.</p>
  
  <p>It seems that editing the web.xml file is required as well.</p>
  
  <p>Any help will be appreciated!</p>
