ejbTimeout called when Timer.cancel is called

[hanseno2]

We are running JBoss 4.0.0 with TimerService
When timer.cancel is called, ejbTimeout is instantly called.
Calling timer.cancel in ejbTimeout throws javax.ejb.NoSuchObjectLocalException: Timer was canceled

I thought ejbTimeout should not be called if Timer is cancelled.

Also I am havin trouble with IllegalStateException when cancelling timer-how do I check what state a timer is in?

Any feedback is greatly experienced!

Sincerely

Espen Albrektsen

ejbTimeout was not called after Timer.cancel - it was called because i created a new Timer with a timeout that allready was expired. (Method is used to handle configuration changes)

I am still having problems cancelling timer - how can I securely cancel a Timer? (I can of course do

try
{timer.cancel();}
catch (Exception e)
{ /* Do nothing */ }

but this seems like a rather uglyu workaround...

Hello,

I have the same problem with JBoss 4.2.1GA. I have a @Service EJB, in start() method I create a EJB timer, and it works.

The first problem is when I shutdown jboss, in the stop() method of the Service EJB I call the method timer.cancel(), and it throws an exception with the message "timer was canceled", but the timer remains in the database (if I call stop() from the JMX console, it is cancelled correctly)

The second problem is when I restart jboss, in the start() method of my service EJB, the function timerService.getTimers() returns an empty collection (even the timer *is* in the database), and when I try to create the timer it fails with a "duplicate key" exception from MySQL driver

Thanks in advance,
Isaac

I wonder where in the JMX-console could you cancel the timer??
I was unable to find it.
