Question

I am working on a java web service that is currently connected to a database. Does anyone have an idea how I may query the database every 5 minutes to check for any updates? Any code/information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ScheduledExecutorService executorService = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
executorService.scheduleWithFixedDelay(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
              //put query logic here
                }
            }
        }, 10, 5, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
