EJB Timer Service

[sanjaymistry]

hi All,

I have my ejbs deployed on jboss3.2.3

I am trying touse EJB Timer service. Basically my bean looks like,
public class TimerBean implements SessionBean, TimedObject {
//all the standard methods here:
public void ejbTimeout(Timer timer) {
System.out.println("Oops......Timed out");
}

public void myCreateTimer(long intervalDuration) {
System.out.println("TimerSessionBean: start createTimer ");
TimerService timerService = context.getTimerService();
Timer timer = timerService.createTimer(intervalDuration, "created timer");
}

}
First of all, the jboss-j2ee.jar file which is there in default/lib (I have my ejb deployed in server/default) doesn't have javax.ejb.TimeObject interface and rest of the classes.
Due to TimedObject and other classes not present I couldn't deploy my EJB. Then, I copied j2ee.jar file from j2ee1.4 which I downloaded from SUN. I could deploy the EJB but got the following error when I tried to access that method on EJB.

Error:---------------------
javax.ejb.EJBException: Unexpected Error
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.jboss.ejb.StatelessSessionEnterpriseContext$SessionContextImpl.getTimerService()Ljavax/ejb/TimerService;
at com.edgetrade.ejb.timer.TimerBean.myCreateTimer(Unknown Source)
-------------------
SoI think I can understand the AbstractMethodError problem. Jboss3.2.3 doesn't have latest implementation of those classes (those classes are absent from jar file).

Which version of Jboss does support that ?

Any help ?

Its not supported until the 4.0 release.

Hi Scott,

I installed JBoss4.0 and got error while execting the TimerService.

Is there anything missing in Jboss4.0.

I am posting this exception here, so if there are any problems with Jboss4.0 you can take a look into this.

Here is the log from the screen:

I got the same error, and also opened a topic some weeks ago @ http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=47728
