getTimerService() can no longer be called in @Service start()
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: EJBTHREE-1701
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1701
             Project: EJB 3.0
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: trunk
            Reporter: Matt C


Calling getTimerService() is no longer allowed from the lifecycle methods of @Service.
Exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: getTimerService() not allowed during injection (EJB3 4.5.2).
This occurs in the start() method of a @Service bean. The effect is to disallow setup of application-wide timers.

This action is erroneously disallowed based on Table 2 in the EJB3 specification, section 4.5.2 (IMHO).

Service lifecycle methods are not dependency injection methods, furthermore @Service beans are outside of the EJB3 specification.
Lifecycle methods of a service should probably be considered business methods, not DI in the context of Table 2. They are in the @Management business interface.

There is no workaround yet for this backwards incompatible change which breaks apps that set up application-wide timers from Services.
