getTimerService() can no longer be called in @Service start()
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: EJBTHREE-1701
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1701
Project: EJB 3.0
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: trunk
Reporter: Matt C
Calling getTimerService() is no longer allowed from the lifecycle methods of @Service.
Exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: getTimerService() not allowed during injection
(EJB3 4.5.2).
This occurs in the start() method of a @Service bean. The effect is to disallow setup of
application-wide timers.
This action is erroneously disallowed based on Table 2 in the EJB3 specification, section
4.5.2 (IMHO).
Service lifecycle methods are not dependency injection methods, furthermore @Service beans
are outside of the EJB3 specification.
Lifecycle methods of a service should probably be considered business methods, not DI in
the context of Table 2. They are in the @Management business interface.
There is no workaround yet for this backwards incompatible change which breaks apps that
set up application-wide timers from Services.
