[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5118) REGRESSION: JBoss 7 cannot process JBossXB in timer schedules

REGRESSION: JBoss 7 cannot process JBossXB in timer schedules ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-5118 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5118 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: EJB Affects Versions: 7.1.1.Final Reporter: Richard Kennard Assignee: jaikiran pai In JBoss AS 6, you could use 'JBossXB expressions' (sorry if that's the wrong terminology, I couldn't find much documentation on this) in ejb-jar.xml to configure timer schedules: <session> <ejb-name>Foo</ejb-name> <timer> <schedule> <minute>*/${how.often:10}</minute> <hour>*</hour> </schedule> The idea here is that 'minute' would default to 10, unless you passed -Dhow.often=5 as a VM arg. This worked under AS 6, but under 7.1.1.Final you get: Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "${how.often:10}" at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48) [rt.jar:1.6.0_24] at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:449) [rt.jar:1.6.0_24] at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:499) [rt.jar:1.6.0_24] at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.schedule.attribute.IntegerBasedExpression.parseInt(IntegerBasedExpression.java:199) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.schedule.attribute.IntegerBasedExpression.processIncrement(IntegerBasedExpression.java:174) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.schedule.attribute.IntegerBasedExpression.<init>(IntegerBasedExpression.java:87) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.schedule.attribute.Minute.<init>(Minute.java:74) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.schedule.CalendarBasedTimeout.<init>(CalendarBasedTimeout.java:126) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.TimerServiceImpl.createCalendarTimer(TimerServiceImpl.java:477) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.TimerServiceImpl.loadAutoTimer(TimerServiceImpl.java:360) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.TimerServiceImpl.restoreTimers(TimerServiceImpl.java:681) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.timerservice.TimerServiceImpl.start(TimerServiceImpl.java:190) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1811) [jboss-msc-1.0.2.GA.jar:1.0.2.GA] at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1746) [jboss-msc-1.0.2.GA.jar:1.0.2.GA]
