initialize timer in jboss-4.0

[conradi]

hi all,

i would like to know, if it is possible to initialize timers in JBoss 4.0.
i know that it is possible by writing a jboss scheduler - just as in jboss 3.2.
however, since in J2EE 1.4 the timer functionality is integrated, i am wondering if there is somehow possible, to initialize these timers without writing a scheduler.

thanks,

i noticed later that a while ago there was a thread for a related problem regarding the persistence of timers in case of a server shutdown:
http://www.jboss.org/?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3855508

the ability to start timers at initialization time (prefarable by configuration obtions in some of the jboss...xml-files) might be a solution for this problem too. in any case, (i.e. in case of a crash) one has to take care, that the persisted timers in the database are not started a second time.
