You can configure your Jboss to not persist the timer: in \server\default\deploy\ejb-deployer.xml change persistencePolicy to 'noop': | <mbean code="org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.EJBTimerServiceImpl" | name="jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService"> | <attribute name="RetryPolicy">jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService,retryPolicy=fixedDelay</attribute> | <attribute name="PersistencePolicy">jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService,persistencePolicy=noop</attribute> | <attribute name="TimerIdGeneratorClassName">org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.BigIntegerTimerIdGenerator</attribute> | <attribute name="TimedObjectInvokerClassName">org.jboss.ejb.txtimer.TimedObjectInvokerImpl</attribute> | <depends optional-attribute-name="TransactionManagerFactory" proxy-type="org.jboss.tm.TransactionManagerFactory"> | jboss:service=TransactionManager | </depends> | </mbean> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4127796#...
