EJB timers ignoring start date
------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-5779
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5779
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Scheduling/Timers
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA, JBossAS-4.2.2.GA
            Reporter: Phil Haigh
            Assignee: Dimitris Andreadis


I am using the EJB timer scheduler for some recurring tasks in my application. There are 3 of them, designed to run overnight, every night (i.e. every 24hours).

All works well when I deploy the application, and on subsequent deployments. However, when I restart JBoss, the timers run every 24 hours after the RESTART, rather than the proper scheduled time.

My timer table looks like:

Code:

select TIMERID, TARGETID, INITIALDATE, TIMERINTERVAL from TIMERS;
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------+---------------------+---------------+
| TIMERID       | TARGETID                                                                          
                    | INITIALDATE         | TIMERINTERVAL |
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------+---------------------+---------------+
| 1215864788521 | [target=jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=wildfrontiers.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=Time
rServiceDispatcher] | 2008-07-09 02:00:06 |      86400000 | 
| 1215864788522 | [target=jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=wildfrontiers.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=Time
rServiceDispatcher] | 2008-07-09 01:05:06 |      86400000 | 
| 1215864788523 | [target=jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=wildfrontiers.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=Time
rServiceDispatcher] | 2008-07-09 01:00:06 |      86400000 | 
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------+---------------------+---------------+
	


So, it I restart JBoss at 6pm, July 12th, the tasks will next run at 6pm July 13th, rather than the expected 1am, 1.05am and 2am 13th July.
