<div class="jive-rendered-content"><h5>Background:</h5><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><span>EJB3.1 timerservice support was introduced in AS 6.0.0.M4 </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15643" target="_blank">http://community.jboss.org/wiki/EJB31inJBossAS600M4</a><span>. The implementation is based on JPA (Hibernate as the provider in JBoss AS). This added around 3-4 second increase in the boot time of the JBoss AS server, due the initialization involved for deploying the timerservice jar. Since the timerservice was only applicable for EJB3.x deployments, it did not make sense to increase the default boot time if the server doesn't have any EJB3.x deployments. Hence we decided to "lazily" deploy the timerservice.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h5>Forum discussion:</h5><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://community.jboss.org/thread/155800" target="_blank">http://community.jboss.org/thread/155800</a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h5>Details:</h5><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><span>Starting JBoss AS 6.0.0.M5, which was released recently </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://community.jboss.org/blogs/donnamishelly/2010/09/24/jboss-as-600m5-released" target="_blank">http://community.jboss.org/blogs/donnamishelly/2010/09/24/jboss-as-600m5-released</a><span>, the jboss-ejb3-timerservice-mk2.jar now resides in JBOSS_HOME/common/deploy folder. This jar will be deployed lazily by the server. The server will  deploy this jar only when the first EJB3.x deployment is made available in the server. By default, JBoss AS doesn't ship any EJB3.x deployments and hence the lazy deployment of timerservice jar saves a few seconds of the server boot time.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h5>How to disable the "lazy" timerservice deployment:</h5><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>If users want to disable the "lazy" deployment of timerservice and instead deploy it always, irrespective of the presence of an EJB3.x deployment, then follow the steps mentioned below:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><ul><li>Move (cut/paste) jboss-ejb3-timerservice-mk2.jar from JBOSS_HOME/common/deploy to JBOSS_HOME/server/< servername>/deploy folder.
