Can I just use java.util.Timer in MBean?

[davidchen]

Hi, there:

I have a question about using Timer MBean (timer service) in my own custom MBean:
1. Can I just use java.util.Timer in my custom MBean instead of using Timer MBean?
2. If so, what's advantage to use Timer MBean ?

Really appreciatted if anyone can give me some clues, Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes. Really, there is no advantage to the timer mbean. The jmx spec existed before the jdk had a timer so it created its own.
