I am using Tomcat with the Spring framework. I want to have a class called by the server every 30 minutes. Is there a good way to do this in Servlet, Spring, or Struts?

You could create a new Thread on container startup that sleeps for 30 minutes and then performs your action. See here for information about context listeners.
