JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "timer attribute names": http://community.jboss.org/message/525278#525278 Author : Alejandro Guizar Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/alex.guizar@jboss.com Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Right. Maybe the problem is mixing date and duration in the same attribute. I looked at java.util.Timer and I'd like to have the same kind of clean, concise parameters.   What if: * *duedate* was a string literal or EL expression that returned either Date or String. If the result is a String, parse a Date based on the configured date-time format. * *delay* was a duration literal, calculated from the Date obtained from the *duedate* attribute or the current time if duedate is absent. * *duedatetime* was phased out instead, since *duedate* would now permit string literals. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/525278#525278
