[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - TimerService.createTimer() in @Service POJO, 4.2.3 vs 5.1.0

[vskytta]

Hello,

When migrating @Service POJOs from JBoss AS 4.2.3 to 5.1.0, I ran into a problem (bug?) with EJB timers (among others, more about those later in separate posts) .  Simplified example:

DummyService.java:

package example;
  | 
  | public interface DummyService
  | {
  | 	void start()
  | 	    throws Exception;
  | }

DummyServiceBean.java:

package example;
  | 
  | import java.util.Date;
  | 
  | import javax.annotation.Resource;
  | import javax.ejb.Timeout;
  | import javax.ejb.Timer;
  | import javax.ejb.TimerService;
  | 
  | import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Management;
  | import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Service;
  | 
  | @Service
  | @Management(DummyService.class)
  | public class DummyServiceBean
  |     implements DummyService
  | {
  | 	@Resource
  | 	protected TimerService timerService;
  | 
  | 	public void start()
  | 	    throws Exception
  | 	{
  | 		timerService.createTimer(new Date(), 5000, "DUMMY");
  | 	}
  | 
  | 	@Timeout
  | 	public void timeout(Timer timer)
  | 	{
  | 		System.out.println("PING");
  | 	}
  | }

This works with AS 4.2.3 (annotation packages obviously changed to the old ones), but the createTimer() fails in 5.1.0 with an InvocationTargetException whose root cause is:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot obtain inMethodFlag for: TimerService.createTimer
  | 	at org.jboss.ejb.AllowedOperationsAssociation.assertAllowedIn(AllowedOperationsAssociation.java:145)
  | 	at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.TimerServiceFacade.assertAllowedIn(TimerServiceFacade.java:59)
  | 	at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.TimerServiceFacade.createTimer(TimerServiceFacade.java:64)
  | 	at example.DummyServiceBean.start(DummyServiceBean.java:24)
  | [...]

I don't remember seeing any instructions except the annotation package changes in the 5.x release notes for migrating @Service POJOs.  Ideas?
