Hi All.

I've tried to use ejb timer via seam.

1. On components.xml i add this line

<async:timer-service-dispatcher/>

@javax.ejb.Local
public interface NotificationTimerHandler {
     @Asynchronous
     public Timer scheduleNotification(Notification notification,
               @Expiration Date jobStartDate);
}

Class:

@Stateless
@AutoCreate
@Name("notificationHandler")
public class NotificationTimerHandlerBean implements NotificationTimerHandler {

     @In
     Timer timer;


     public Timer scheduleNotification(Notification notification,
               Date jobStartDate) {
          /* DO SOMETHING */
          return timer;
     }

}

3. bean to run timer and save handler to database

@Stateful
@Name("ist_notificationCrud")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class NotificationCrudBean implements NotificationCrud {

     @In(value = "notificationHandler")
     NotificationTimerHandler notificationTimerHandler;
     

     public NotificationData saveNotification(NotificationData notificationData) {
          //DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT
          Notification notif = getNotificationFromSomewhere()
          Timer timer = notificationTimerHandler
                         .scheduleNotification(notif, notif
                              .getNotificationAppearTime());
          notif.setTimer(timer.getHandle());
          // DO REST OF IMPORTANT THINGS
     }
}

When i run saveNotification method I get this error:

The strangest thing is that I use timers mechanism (another timer handler) in other bean in my application and everything works fine. Any ideas why timer isn't injected into handler bean? What I did wrong? I would be appreciaeta for any help
