A question like this was asked 2-3 days ago. Maybe you can have a look at
archive and see what were the answers.

What you want to do, is so simple, using Java's threads. You can
'schedule' a 'Timer' to execute a 'TimerTask' at an specific 'Date' or
'Perdiod'. Or as some of friends mentioned, you can use off-the-shelf
frameworks for scheduling like Quartz.

Have a look these :

this is not a good design to access DB directly via jsp  pages, ans your page will perform operations on demand

For this case, you can use Timer and TimerTask as well.
