Per BPMN2 specification: "The timer has a specific time-date or a specific cycle (e.g., every Monday at 9am) that can be set, so if the cycle is every day at 9 a.m." BPMN2 was a recommended way to go, since DRF is going to become obsolete soon. Is this timer feature currently supported by Drools? I can see it in XSD: <xsd:element name="timerEventDefinition" type="tTimerEventDefinition" substitutionGroup="eventDefinition"/> <xsd:complexType name="tTimerEventDefinition"> <xsd:complexContent> <xsd:extension base="tEventDefinition"> <xsd:choice> <xsd:element name="timeDate" type="tExpression" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xsd:element name="timeCycle" type="tExpression" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> </xsd:choice> </xsd:extension> </xsd:complexContent> </xsd:complexType> But not in Eclipse IDE properties. /Anatoly -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/BPMN2-Timer-Cycle-tp8...
