Hello gygerl, I dont know how to work out your declarative approach -- I used a programmatic approach to creating my timer inside my node's ActionHandler, as follows: | Date dueDate = <set your due date here>; | timer.setDueDate(dueDate); | timer.setTransitionName("mytransitionname"); | timer.setGraphElement(executionContext.getEventSource()); timer.setTaskInstance(executionContext.getTaskInstance()); | timer.setToken(executionContext.getToken()); | SchedulerService schedulerService = (SchedulerService) Services.getCurrentService(Services.SERVICENAME_SCHEDULER); | schedulerService.createTimer(timer); | That seemed to work fine for me. Hope that helps. Cheers, Brad View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3976715#...
