Varia Scheduler cannot find class at startup

[lpmon]

I have seen this before and created a work-around. I have since changed my deployment layout (due to EJB3/Seam) and now my work-around does not work.

in schedule-service.xml:


true
com.shockwatch.swevents.rdp.extract.RDPAutoExtract
09/16/2008 6:38
120000
-1


The SchedulableClass is inside a jar that is inside an ear. How do I tell where to find the class?

Here is my kludge that used to work. It touches the xml config file which causes JBoss to reload it (after the ear loaded and class is available).

/**
* KLUDGE: could not get dependency to work for scheduler service, cause it to reload config
*/
private void touchScheduler()
{
try
{
Class.forName("com.shockwatch.swevents.rdp.extract.RDPAutoExtract");
String fileSep=System.getProperty("file.separator");
String deployDir=System.getProperty("jboss.server.home.dir") + fileSep + "deploy" + fileSep;
File f = new File(deployDir + "scheduler-service.xml");
f.setLastModified(System.currentTimeMillis());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
}

Forgot to give version:

JBoss AS 4.0.5GA

and error:

I missed a section in the wiki that explained how to configure a schedule WITHIN an app.

Key point: scheduler-service.xml file is in /META-INF

See last section in wiki: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Scheduler
