Stuart Douglas commented on AS7-3630:
-------------------------------------
The problem with disallowing this is that you can run into situations like:
- client calculates date a small amount of time in the future
- JVM pauses (e.g. GC pause, heavy machine load)
- By the time createTimer is called date is now in the past, and timer is never invoked.
Not sure how best to avoid this, maybe some kind of threshold.

---------------------------------------
I understand problems which the disallowing could cause.
Whether you think that the current state is OK, please, reject this JIRA. Thanks.

Stuart Douglas resolved AS7-3630.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Rejected
We can revisit this if we get complaints, but I would rather not impose an arbitrary
threshold.

jaikiran pai commented on AS7-3630:
-----------------------------------
For what it's worth, this behaviour is similar to what
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Timer.html#schedule%28...
does when the date is in the past:
{quote}
public void schedule(TimerTask task,
Date time)
Schedules the specified task for execution at the specified time. If the time is in
the past, the task is scheduled for immediate execution.
{quote}
So it's consistent with how the Java timer behaves.
