How exactly a Servlet Engine functions?

843840Apr 15 2002 — edited Apr 15 2002

Hi all,

I need to run a servlet periodically, say every half hour to delete some records from the database.

A consultant from IBM suggested to use a servlet with sleep in the init() method,

My doubt is that will a Application server start serving pages even before completion of executing the init methods of all servlets?
How does it actually function?

Our Environment:
OS - OS/390
App Server - WAS 4.0
Database - DB2 on OS/390

Please explain,

Thanks in advance
