Scheduler

[taggat]

Are there any annotations to create a scheduled service instead of having to put an XML file in the deployment

Nope. Suggestions?

my sugestion would be to do something like the @Depends tag

the xml is

 <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.scheduler.Scheduler"
 name=":service=Scheduler">
 <attribute name="StartAtStartup">true</attribute>
 <attribute name="SchedulableClass">org.jboss.varia.scheduler.example.SchedulableExample</attribute>
 <attribute name="SchedulableArguments">Schedulabe Test,12345</attribute>
 <attribute name="SchedulableArgumentTypes">java.lang.String,int</attribute>
 <attribute name="InitialStartDate">0</attribute>
 <attribute name="SchedulePeriod">10000</attribute>
 <attribute name="InitialRepetitions">-1</attribute>
 </mbean>

so if in an mbean you could have a tag along the lines of

@Schedule(initalStartDate="0", schedulePeriod="10000", initialRepetitions="-1", schedulableArguments="Test, 12345")

This would then activate a schedule of the mbean.

This would be a big benifit, and get away from having to deploy the xml file.

looks like a good idea. I've created a JIRA task for it. It is scheduled for RC6, but I don't think we'll get there in time. I don't think there's any reason why this feature shouldn't be usable with @Stateless beans too.

very true, that would make alot of sense.

thanks for that.
