Hi, I just created a timer-bean running a custom job at a defined interval. This service is annotated with @Service and @Management, so that it is startable/stoppable via the JMX-Console. Now I would like to add some properties that can be changed by the user - for example the interval between two timeouts etc - and does not need any repackaging or redeploying of the application. So what would be the recommended way for this configuration? Configuration file? Database-values? MBeans? Preferably it would be great if I can simply inject these properties from somewhere into my EJB - but this is not a must. Any ideas about this - probably very common requirement - would be greatly appricated. Thanks Thomas View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4168665#...
