How to run javascript function periodically when the Apache tomcat server is starts instead of java class using ScheduledExecutorService?

Question

I need to run my javascript function periodically on server starts. i dont know how to write the equivalent Java code as my javaScript function contains multiple ajax call and mathematical equations.

below is my javascript code which i need to run periodically on server start.

<script type="text/javascript">




$(document).ready(function(){

My question:-

1. Is there any technique to call a javascript function from a java class extended with runnables or directly implement the exact javascript in java class?
2. If answer for 1 is no, can you please guide me to convert my entire javascript to Java code?

Any piece of code is highly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use node.js and execute your script using Runtime.exec(). you would run node on this or you can go for Rhino scripting engine to envoke methods in .js file from within a java class. Hope that helped.
