It should be easy enough to write a servlet which handles job scheduling
task requests(if that is the manner in which jobs are going to get
scheduled)
and is load-on-startup enabled.  Then in the init method fork a thread for 
a Runnable Object which continually checks for tasks that need to be run
and processes them as needed.
