[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - Potential Spec violation in TimerService

[mkleiderman]

Here's the body of org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.TimerServiceImpl's createTimer method:

  |       if (initialExpiration == null)
  |          throw new IllegalArgumentException("initial expiration is null");
  |       if (intervalDuration < 0)
  |          throw new IllegalArgumentException("interval duration is negative");
  | 
  |       try
  |       {
  |          String timerId = timerIdGenerator.nextTimerId();
  |          TimerImpl timer = new TimerImpl(this, timerId, timedObjectId, timedObjectInvoker, info);
  |          persistencePolicy.insertTimer(timerId, timedObjectId, initialExpiration, intervalDuration, info);
  |          timer.startTimer(initialExpiration, intervalDuration);
  |          return timer;
  |       }
  |       catch (Exception e)
  |       {
  |          log.error("Cannot create txtimer", e);
  |          return null;
  |       }
  | 
The Sun API documentation for this method says to throw javax.ejb.EJBException if the method fails due to a system-level failure, not return null.

Should I file this in Jira?
