Timer Scheduler in Distributed JBoss Environment

iterrell Feb 16, 2006 1:05 PM

Can anyone give any recommendations on the best sort of scheduler to use in a distributed JBoss environment?

Right now I have a custom-made SLSB that mimics the behavior of org.jbpm.scheduler.impl.SchedulerServlet using javax.ejb.Timer's. Can anyone offer any insight on this approach (any pitfalls?), or other approaches?

Thanks much in advance; I know this must be a fairly common environment for jBPM projects.

The only reason why the EJB timer service isn't used is to avoid the dependency on JEE APIs. This way jBPM retains the ability to run in JSE environments. But if you've managed to use EJB timers, that's great! There are no actual pitfalls, just remember to set Hibernate's transaction strategy to JTA.

Would you be interested in contributing your solution?

I'm more than willing to give back by contributing this solution; just gotta test it a bit more and see if I can't make it a little more robust. :)
