javax.management.timer.Timer should perform fixed-delay periodic execution by default ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3281 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3281 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: JMX, Scheduling/Timers Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.4.GA, JBossAS-3.2.8.SP1 Environment: Java 1.4 (For Java 5.0 we use the implementation supplied with the JRE) Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assigned To: Dimitris Andreadis Priority: Critical Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.Beta, JBossAS-4.0.5.CR1, JBossAS-3.2.8.SP2 The implementation of javax.management.timer.Timer does not match the javadoc: - http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/management/timer/Timer.html By default the timer should be using fixed-delay execution, our implementation is defaulting to fixed-rate execution. In addition to this to use fixed-rate execution you should use the method addNotification(String, String, Object, Date, long, long, boolean), however we have not implemented this method and we just throw a RuntimeException if it is invoked.
