Schedule a task

[ray frid]

Hi all, Iam using jboss5.1.x, EJB3.0

I need to schedule a task in my application. which way would you recommend me to do it according to version I am using below?

I heard about SAR, but i am not sure if there is a way which is more appropriate or updated to do it nowdays

thanks,

ray.

"updated way to do it"? I use cron for my apps.
I've seen Quartz recommended on the forums. I don't know if there's something built into JBoss.

cron? but this is a linux command. i need something to run from the inside of my application. something that my container(EJB) will run

[Joe Ess]

Unix command. Linux <> Unix. You can write stand-alone EJB clients, ya know.
Again, Quartz may be what you are looking for. There are probably many other options.

Do you know anything specific for JBOSS?

Depends what you mean by schedule, but if its a task that recurs with a specific frequency EJB timers are available. Or a simple timer task if you don;t need any container provided services.
