Ejb 3s and scheduling with cron expression.

[paradigmza]

Hi,


I have a "simple" problem and I was wondering if there is a easy solution...

I have an EJB3

@Stateless
public class SendSettlementEmailBean implements SendSettlementEmail {
 public void sendEmail() {
 System.out.println("Running Now");
 }
}

Now I want this piece of code to run on the 1st day of every month? How do I go about doing that?

I tried using quartz, but it only works with ejb 2.1, and I had a brief look at the EJB3 Timer but it looks like it can't take a cron expression?

Is there a standard way to do this?

Thanks Sean.

This is the inflowmdb unit test:

@MessageDriven(activationConfig =
{
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="cronTrigger", propertyValue="0/2 * * * * ?")
})
@ResourceAdapter("quartz-ra.rar")
public class QuartzMDBBean implements Job
{
 private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(QuartzMDBBean.class);

 public static boolean called = false;

 public void execute(JobExecutionContext jobExecutionContext) throws JobExecutionException
 {
 log.info("************** here!!!!");
 called = true;
 }
}

Thanks, this is perfect.

Where can I find the documentation for this?

I was also searching for documentation on this topic especially on how to externalize the adnotations to the ejb-jar.xml and created a small article here: http://www.len.ro/work/articles/jboss/creating-a-quartz-job hope it helps.
