Scheduled Tasks in JBOSS ?

[ratheeshramachandran]

Hi there

In JBOSS, is there a way to congure a scheduled task ie. A bean or something which will be invoked at a specified frequency ?

Thanks

Look into using a TimerMBean

Here's an incomplete example:

ArrayList al = MBeanServerFactory.findMBeanServer(null);
server = (MBeanServer) al.get(0);
Timer timer = new Timer();
timerName =
 new ObjectName("ex.Timer:type=TimerService,name=ex.Cache");
DataRefresher dataRefresher = new DataRefresher();

timer.addNotificationListener(dataRefresher,null,null);

timer.addNotification("ex.Timer:type=TimerService,name=ex.Cache",
 "ex.Timer:type=TimerService,name=ex.Cache",
 null,
 startDate,
 period);
server.registerMBean(timer, timerName);
server.invoke(timerName,"start",new Object[0],new String[0]);
