Developing an automatic service

[fuchs]

Hello,

I am using JBP 2.7.2 and I would like to know, how I could execute an automatic service.
This service should start every month without human activity.
Should I develop a new JBoss module or what you think I could do?

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This sounds more like a business component than a Portal component (ie: not a portlet) that the EJB3 timer service would be well-fit for:
