Java EJB @Schedule annotation method is being called twice

I am working on a J2EE project that, in short, sends an automated email to a user at a designated time, and allows the user to download files from the webpage that is emailed to them. It works pretty well.

However, my timer method that uses the @Schedule annotation is invoked twice. The method always executes immediately at run time (which I don't want), then later at the designated time. I have included code for the Servlet that is loaded when my application is deployed, the Schedule class, and my web.xml file.

    package downloadsupport;

    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;

    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

    import scheduleTimer.ScheduleEmail;

    /**
     * Servlet implementation class InitializeApplicationServlet
     */
    @WebServlet("/DeployApplicationServlet")
    public class DeployApplicationServlet extends HttpServlet {
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

        /**
         * @see HttpServlet#HttpServlet()
         */
        public DeployApplicationServlet() {
           super();
        }

        /**
         * @see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
        HttpServletResponse response)
         */
        protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
        response) throws ServletException, IOException {
            PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
            out.println("Web Application Started");

            ScheduleEmail se = new ScheduleEmail();
            se.sendAutomatedEmail();
        }

    /**
     * @see HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     */
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

    }

}




    package scheduleTimer;

    import java.util.Date;

    import javax.ejb.Schedule;
    import javax.ejb.Stateless;

    @Stateless
    public class ScheduleEmail {

        @Schedule(second = "0", minute = "10", hour = "12", dayOfWeek = "Wed")
        public void sendAutomatedEmail() {
            // Print Time to console for testing purposes
            System.out.println(new Date());

            // Invoke the SendEmailServlet at the designated time
            try {
            URL emailServlet = new
              URL("http://localhost:9081/downloadsupport/SendEmailServlet");
              URLConnection servletConn = emailServlet.openConnection();
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                servletConn.getInputStream()));
            String inputLine;

            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
                System.out.println(inputLine);
                in.close();
            }
            catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
