I need to send mass emails to users of a web app after checking things in the DB(as to whether they meet the criteria to recieve the email). The data to be emailed is the same for all users and is stored in the DB I intend to do the following:- The scheduler(crontab to be precise) wakes up a Servlet at 3 am in the morning. The Servlet does the checks against the DB to find the users that satisfy the criteria to recieve emails and makes a Vector of DTOs(data transfer objs..encapsulating name, email address and other pertinent info about an user). The servlet writes this DTO vector to session and forwards the request to an email servlet. The email servlet grabs the DTO vector in session and loops over the DTO vector and emails the users

Is this a good architecture for the mass emailing?
I searched and did not find any pertinent articles on the subject. If you have had any experience doing this kind of application, please share. (I used a servlet instead of a java application to get at the DTO Vector stored in session)
