Scheduled Tasks and Websphere

In my Domino to Websphere app re-write I need to run a number of scheduled tasks which perform various bits of business logic/run report etc. Now I am expecting (being a crusty old Domino Charlie) that there is some way to set this up within the application itself. Trouble is I can't seem to find a standard/common/best practice way of doing this. Doesn't seem to be any standard J2EE way, is there any proprietary way in Websphere? ... any one know?

Maybe you have to use things like "Quartz Job Scheduler" ..

Please please don't say you have to create cron jobs because I will burst into tears.
