For a system monitoring Java application which currently runs on the command line and uses ScheduledExecutorService, I would like to write a simple web application version, to be run in a Servlet container like Apache Tomcat or Eclipse Jetty.

I have read about Quartz as one of the popular job schedulers for web applications. Would it be better (maybe because of better servlet container integration) to port this application from ScheduledExecutorService to Quartz?

Adding another library dependency to the application is not a problem, I am interested in technical reasons against usage of ScheduledExecutorService.

    It depends on what you are using it for.

    Quartz is useful for programmed times e.g. every hour on the hour.

    ScheduledExecutorService is useful for repeating tasks which don’t have to occur at a specific time. Its simpler and possibly more efficient. If you have this working it indicates to me that you don’t need Quartz.
