Timer timer = new Timer();

public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {

    Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
    date.set(

</servlet-mapping>
<listner>

The class MyContext implementing ServletContextListener is not a Servlet that process your requests. Listeners wait for some events to happen and gives us a handlers method to handle the event. In the case of ServletContextListener we can handle the initialization and destruction of the ServletContext. Refer this post to get a better understanding.
