The Scheduler works like that:
It has a timer on which it subsribes filtered listeners. When the timer triggers, the
appropriate listener catches the event and calls the predefined target class or mbean with
some certain parameters. What you really want if i understood right, is to have your
applications listen to the same timer events as the scheduler does. And you want to use
the scheduler for that.
There are 2 solutions as i can see it.
The first one is based on being able to catch the timer events as the Scheduler itself
does. This you can do by throwing away the Scheduler :) and use the Timer directly. You
can set the Timer Mbean to start when jboss starts, and then your every application could
implement the NotificationListener interface and subscribe to the timer through the JMX
Server.
for example:
private ObjectName mTimer;
mTimer = new ObjectName("jboss:service=Timer");
mListener = new YourListenerClass();
getServer().addNotificationListener(
mTimer,
mListener,
new NotificationFilter(...),
null
);

The second , easiest and best solution in my opinion is to make your scheduler's
target class or mbean to place messages on a durable Topic, and then have your EJB
applications subscribe on this Topic. So its MDB solution :)
In order to do that, you ll have to read about the scheduler's target which can be
defined in your jboss-service.xml, and how to develop a custom target (plain class or
mbean). Check the JMS documentation for the Topic and how to develop topic subscribers.
