So I guess if I am intersted in listening to say...3 jobs...do I need 3 endpoints? How about 10? What if I never deploy an endpoint at all...do I still want the Scheduler up and running....doing nothing but showing up in a ThreadDump. | | How about support, have they been told about the adapter and what it means when it starts showing up in profiling info or clients, god forbid, actually try and use it? | | At the very least, I think for 4.0.5, the RAR should go in the docs directory giving the client a choice if they want to deploy the adapter or not. | | You are not listening to me. I'm not looking for this to be the "holy grail" for Timers. I just want it available as an optional Quartz deployment mechanism and integration with MDB. That RAR *IS NOT*, I repeat *IS NOT* the basis for any Timer integration. All this RAR is a simpler User API for using Quartz so that a quartz job can post to an MDB. Nothing more. | <ejb-jar> | <message-driven> | <ejb-class>my.specific.job.class</ejb-class> | <activation-spec> | <name>Cron</name> | <value>1 2 * * * 4/5</value> | </activation-spec> | </message-driven> | </ejb-jar> | The idea of this RAR is that it is portable to *ANY Java EE Vendor*. Yes, it is bare bones, but it works. And, it is documented somewhat as a EJB3 tutorial. To be honest, since all you guys have been assholes about this crap, then do whatever the hell you want. I seriously don't care anymore. Bill View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3957417#...
