[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBAS-5779) EJB timers ignoring start date

EJB timers ignoring start date ------------------------------ Key: JBAS-5779 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5779 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Scheduling/Timers Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.2.GA, JBossAS-4.2.3.GA Reporter: Phil Haigh Assignee: Dimitris Andreadis I am using the EJB timer scheduler for some recurring tasks in my application. There are 3 of them, designed to run overnight, every night (i.e. every 24hours). All works well when I deploy the application, and on subsequent deployments. However, when I restart JBoss, the timers run every 24 hours after the RESTART, rather than the proper scheduled time. My timer table looks like: Code: select TIMERID, TARGETID, INITIALDATE, TIMERINTERVAL from TIMERS; +---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------+---------------------+---------------+ | TIMERID | TARGETID | INITIALDATE | TIMERINTERVAL | +---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------+---------------------+---------------+ | 1215864788521 | [target=jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=wildfrontiers.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=Time rServiceDispatcher] | 2008-07-09 02:00:06 | 86400000 | | 1215864788522 | [target=jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=wildfrontiers.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=Time rServiceDispatcher] | 2008-07-09 01:05:06 | 86400000 | | 1215864788523 | [target=jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=wildfrontiers.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=Time rServiceDispatcher] | 2008-07-09 01:00:06 | 86400000 | +---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------+---------------------+---------------+ So, it I restart JBoss at 6pm, July 12th, the tasks will next run at 6pm July 13th, rather than the expected 1am, 1.05am and 2am 13th July.
