ejb-timer: Example of EJB Timer Service - @Schedule and @Timeout

The ejb-timer quickstart demonstrates how to use the EJB timer service @Schedule and @Timeout annotations with {productName}.

What is it?

The ejb-timer quickstart demonstrates how to use the EJB timer service in {productNameFull}. This example creates a timer service that uses the @Schedule and @Timeout annotations.

The following EJB Timer services are demonstrated:

• @Schedule: Uses this annotation to mark a method to be executed according to the calendar schedule specified in the attributes of the annotation. This example schedules a message to be printed to the server console every 6 seconds.

• @Timeout: Uses this annotation to mark a method to execute when a programmatic timer goes off. This example sets the timer to go off every 3 seconds, at which point the method prints a message to the server console.

Existing threads in the thread pool handle the invocations. They are rotated and the name of the thread that handles the invocation is printed within the parenthesis (EJB Default - #).
