Timer: howto?

[tvik]

EJB specification mentions a method to do timer functionalities by javax.ejb.TimedObject interface and javax.ejb.TimerService, however, JBoss doesn't contain them.

What should I use in JBoss (3.2.1) instead of them and how?

(I want to remove EJB-s after a certain period of time as timeout.)

[adrian.brock]

The timer is part of EJB2.1

JBoss3.x is EJB2.0

JBoss has a scheduler service or some people
like quartz.

Thx,

Really, I've found a mystic scheduler-service.xml in the deploy directory which defines a Scheduler service but I don't know how to use it. Has anybody a sample MBean or anything which uses this Scheduler?

(Maybe I should order & buy an Advanced Doco but I need this quicker.)

It seems I've found a good description here:
http://jboss.sourceforge.net/doc-24/ch11s58.html#timer-setup

I'm probing it...
