6.1 Beta: a quick way to drop timers?

[jjfraney]

Is there any quick way to drop application timers so they stop firing?  It should be easier than a reinstall of the whole server and applications, which is pretty easy, I agree; I'm just wondering if dropping the timers would be easier.

I have a single EJB3 timer (persistent=false) in my application.  When it first fired, it did not gracefully handle an exception from on a database access.  I resolved the databse access problem by changing the datasource and re-enabled the applicatioin.  Now, at the scheduled firing time, the timeout handler is called about 10 times, not once.

I removed and redeployed the application and it had no effect.

Thanks,

John

1. Stop the server
2. Remove the content of $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/data/timer-service-data
3. Restart the server

Just to complete,

if you look into the standalone/data/timer-service-data domain/servers/serverName/data/timer-service-data (it is the same for all servers nevertheless whether it is standalone or a domain controlled server)

you can identify the different timers, each timer is stored in a directory named <application name>.<module name>.<Bean name> identified by a hash identifier which is also used in log messages.

So you are able to remove only a part of timers

Wolf-Dieter and Stephen,

Thanks.  That IS easy.
