[rules-users] Use of Timers in Rule Agent

[Vikrant Yagnick]

Hi All,

I am  integrating Rules into a  J2EE Application. I notice the Rule Agent class uses a java timer for polling a directory or a URL.
Is this appropriate to use in a Managed Environment like an Application Server?

I only have theoretical knowledge of timers, but is it not recommended to use Timer EJB's rather than Timer Tasks in a Managed environment so that the container can manage the timers ?


Cheers,
Vikrant
