Enterprise Timers - Load Order

[bradsdavis]

What is the ideal way to bind to timers? When I have the following configuration for scheduler:

 <service name="scheduler">
 <factory>
 <bean name="org.jbpm.scheduler.ejbtimer.EntitySchedulerServiceFactory" class="org.jbpm.scheduler.ejbtimer.EntitySchedulerServiceFactory">
 <field name="timerEntityHomeJndiName"><string value="java:ejb/TimerEntityBean"/></field>
 </bean>
 </factory>
 </service>

I receive an exception related to the timer service starting up before the LocalCommandServiceHome is started.

What am I missing here?

Here is the exception that comes up when the server starts:

08:30:43,109 ERROR [LogInterceptor] EJBException in method: public abstract void javax.ejb.TimedObject.ejbTimeout(javax.ejb.Timer)

Can anyone give me insight into how I can prevent this?

This is happening because EJB Timers loads before jBPM. But if you change that load order, jBPM still waits on ejb timers I think. Anyone have a solution?
