@Timeout and the EJB3 Timer Service

[Cainiao Zou]

In all online examples about EJB3 Timer Service is the Timeout function wroten in the same Bean class which calles createTimer(). I think, there is no parameter about Timeout class in the overloaded createTimer() functions, so that means the Timeout implementation MUST be wroten in the same class, which calls timerservice.createTimer()? Btw, there must be MAX. only one Timeout implementation, right?

thanks

A EJB timerservice is associated with a EJB class. When the timerservice is used to create a timer, the timeout method is looked for in the same EJB class to which that timerservice belongs.

You can have a single action timer (which fires only once) and a recurring timer (which fires multiple times, based on the schedule that you use while creating it).
