Hello everyone,
I will have to say it right away that I'm not much posted in either JMX or JBoss,
I would just like to see if this specification is a right way to go
to solve a particular task and if I have to invest more time
understanding JBoss.
In a scope of J2EE application we have to perform some repetitive
actions like monitoring file system and/or database with certain
intervals. Neither entity nor session nor message beans are good
candidates for this job for obvious reasons (but I may be wrong here)
and EJB 2.1 with Timer Services is not there yet. In this situation
would JMX Timer Services be a correct fit to schedule and fire up
those tasks (file system/database querying) given that JMX is implemented
in some application servers like JBoss for example?
Thank you for your time,
Yuriy ZUbarev
