<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am &nbsp;integrating Rules into a &nbsp;J2EE Application.
I notice the Rule Agent class uses a java timer for polling a directory or a
URL. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Is this appropriate to use in a Managed Environment like an
Application Server? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I only have theoretical knowledge of timers, but is it not
recommended to use Timer EJB&#8217;s rather than Timer Tasks in a Managed
environment so that the container can manage the timers ?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Vikrant <o:p></o:p></p>
