Recover timer after shutdown

[galo.navarro]

I have a simple EJB that creates a timer and handles the corresponding event when fired.

public void startTimer() {
 System.out.println("Fired");
 ctx.getTimerService().createTimer(new Date(new Date().getTime() + 10*60*1000), "It's me");
 }

 @Timeout
 public void timeoutHandler(Timer timer) {
 System.out.println("Expired: " + timer.getInfo());
 }

If my Jboss server is shut down (or crashes) before the timer is due and restarted, I can still see the timer in the Timers table, but it's never fired.

What do I need to do so those timers are still fired after my app server is restarted?

Thanks a lot.

This is fixed in the upcoming release.

I have an SLSB with a startTimer method I call from a servlet init() method. It always succeeds, however, the localDB.script JBoss uses to re-create timers runs AFTER my SLSB is called. I'm then getting a dup record exception and there is no way for me to catch it or to test whether my timer exists before creating it.

Follow up: the dup record occurs after a crash but not a shutdown, I assume that's part of the upcoming "fix" as well.

When is the fix going to be available? I am looking at a workaround but worried that once I have implemented it you will release the fix.

many thanks
