Server to handle time delayed events

Question

I'm searching materials/ideas/designs to solve architecture problem: I'll have several agents which handle some processing, as a result they can generate state for clients which will expire after some time. Let's say client sent presence state which expire after 1h. I wondering how to write service to keep track of expiration time of scheduled events.

1) create sorted collection with timestamps and process it by some executor

2) put all into DB and perform cyclic check using sorted query

Any suggestions are appreciated.

At this moment I'm not limited by any framework, any option can be taken under consideration. However I would rather not using heavy frameworks. — The Tosters, Jun 27 '14 at 07:24

If you are using spring framework, you can use Spring cron http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/scheduling.html

I'm reading docs now, looks promising, need to read more about spring. – The Tosters Jun 27 '14 at 07:31
