EJB3 Timer and AS restart

[abafna]

Hi,

I have a set of scheduled task in my application that fire off based on EJB3 timers at defined interval. Timing for scheduled tasks goes haywire after server restart as if current state is not stored.

The timers expire as expected until a server restart. On server restart, timers are recreated and they expire immediately since initial date/time is in the past instead of expiring at next time out. From this point onwards timers expire after interval duration milliseconds have passed i.e. after interval millisecond duration since last server restart and timer recreation.

I am using JBoss 4.2.2.GA

Anyone else faced this problem?

Is there any configuration that can be changed to store the timer state such that timers expire only at next time out and not immediately?

Or, is this expected behavior? If so, it sounds like a bug.

Thanks
Amit

I have experienced the same problem, currently with jboss-4.2.3.GA.

And for me, the problem is even worse because the timers expire at a time the server is not yet completely started and not all required services are started. This results in failures and eventually I have to restart the server.... and then the problem can start all over.

There is a post in a different forum about this:

And a bug in JIRA:
