If you really want to do that, you could use hibernate to access database directly, once you get the timerImpl,  you could do whatever you want to do.  But please notice that is not recommended. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/548185#548185] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
