Question

I’m using Spring MVC+Spring Data with a Relational DB for a web application.
What I need to do is to trigger a check at midnight. In particular, I need to go through a list of persistent objects and check whether they expire on the just-started day.

Also, I would like to schedule some events at given intervals (e.g. once a week).

Does Spring offer a support for that?

EDIT: My solution

@Service
public class MyWork implements Runnable {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        workToDo();
    }


    private void workToDo()  { /*do it*/}
}

@Service
public class MySchedulerInvoker {
    @Autowired
    private TaskScheduler scheduler;

    @Async
    public void executeTask() {
    scheduler.schedule(new MyWork(), new CronTrigger(
            "* 15 9-17 * * MON-FRI"));
}
