I am just considering my options when migrating for jboss 4.2.3 that had quartz embedded and I used the resources adapter to have an MDB that uses quartz.
but now in jboss 7.1 quartz is not distributed and I was wondering if there is a replacement to it's capabilities.
basically my scenario is as follows -
I use an MDB registered to quartz to do some pulling on data
the data is analyzed
and than the whole cycle starts again.
the thing is i don't want the cycle to start again if the processing of the current data takes longer than the diff between the invocations.
i know i can always set the time longer, but it doesn't grantee that there won't be overlapping
