Timers question

[Deepak Jain]

Do PostConstruct Methods of Timers are invoked after the timeout ?

The above logs does indicate that. This implies when the timer expires, the container
a) creates a new Bean
b) Does DI
c)Invokes the Timeout method.
Is this correct?

Hi,

From core spec (p.482):

The timeout
callback method invocation for a timer that is created for a stateless session bean or a message-driven
bean may be called on any bean instance in the pooled state.

So it is the container choice to use existing instance or create new one (as in your case).
