Dear all,
I hope this is the correct forum for this question.
I am doing a simple timer example. At least I think I am doing that. Based on a liberal reading and understanding of the public documentation I think I need a Scheduler that can be configured through service.xml. The Scheduler is configured by the XML file but basiccally invokes the method "hit" on "com.test.testMDB" at the specified moments (see attached service.xml).
Then I need a Schedulable. I opt for the MBean approach. The Mbean, for now, implements hit through printing a message to stderr. Thus I implement both "hit" and "onMessage" (see TestMDB.java).
Now, doubts are getting the upperhand. Do I need to configure a queue? Do I need the "onMessage" method? What deployment xml (ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml) do I need? Is it really as simple as described above?
Thanks for any suggestions!
