For example, lets there is a timer which fires every 10 seconds. @Timeout private void doSomething (Timer timer) { *// lets say this method takes random time of up to 15 minutes to finish sometimes.* } Please enlighten me what happens here.. Does JBoss store all the fired timeouts in a queue or would it just let go if the previous timeout method execution is still on, and wait for the next timeout. Thank you, A. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/722666#722666] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
