Expired interval timers re-expire on restart -------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-8764 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8764 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: System service Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.1.0.GA Reporter: Shaun Appleton Assignee: Brad Maxwell Priority: Blocker Fix For: 6.0.0.Final Attachments: EJBTimerServiceImpl.java, EJBTimerServiceImpl.java, ExampleTimerBean.java, JBPAPP-4681.patch, timerlogger.pdf If you restart JBoss after an interval timer has expired it re-expires. This means the timer is, in effect, called every timer the server is restarted. The spec [section 18.4.2] states what should happen between a server crash and a restart - "Any interval timers that have expired during the intervening time must cause the timeout callback method to be invoked at least once upon restart."
