Injection of bean in Timer

[jcarlos_andia]

Hi.

I have an Action handler associated to the event NODE_ENTER of a state. The first time it executes (when the token enters the node) a timer is created. The next "n" times (which is fired by the timer and not by the event) the method tries to look for a Stateful session bean in context. This is the code:

public class MyActionHandler implements ActionHandler{

 private static final long serialVersionUID = -7574831777028763706L;

 public void execute(ExecutionContext context) throws Exception{

 if(context.getTimer()==null){
 System.out.println("ADDING TIMER ...");
 Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
 BusinessCalendar bc=new BusinessCalendar();
 Duration duration=new Duration("20 seconds");
 Date dueDate=bc.add(cal.getTime(), duration);

 Timer myTimer=new Timer();
 myTimer.setName("[TIMER] "+context.getEventSource().getName());
 myTimer.setDueDate(dueDate);
 myTimer.setRepeat("20 seconds");
 myTimer.setRetries(3);

 myTimer.setAction(context.getAction());

 context.setTimer(myTimer);

 context.getJbpmContext().getServices().getSchedulerService().createTimer(myTimer);
 }else{
 System.out.println("EXECUTING ...");
System.out.println("CommonUtil="+Component.getInstance("commonUtil"));

 }
 }

It fails when it tries to retrieve the bean from the context. The log:

14:43:25,612 INFO [STDOUT] EXECUTING ...

It seems that when the timer if fired it doesn't "look" in the context where all beans are. Any idea of how can I solve this?. Or a way to inject seam components within a timer context? Thanks in advance.
