Question

I have a webpage in javascript mainly that has an export to excel function.

How can I schedule that function to run and save in a spacific folder on that server every 2 hours for example?

Answer 1

Since this sounds like you’ve already built everything and just want to automate it, here is an idea:

• Set up a Quartz job to run every 2 hours. Example here
• Use Rhino to run your JavaScript inside the JVM. Example here. OTOH, you could translate your JS code to Java and just run it natively without Rhino.
• Take the output of the JS method and save it to the server.

There are probably a billion other ways to do it…
