    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/EJBTHREE-2159?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12547846#action_12547846 ] 

jaikiran pai commented on EJBTHREE-2159:
----------------------------------------

>> I am not sure if using a range and an increment should work together

No, they are not expected to work together. The EJB3.1 spec says:

<quote>
The forward slash constrains an attribute based on a starting point and an interval, and is used to specify “Every N { seconds | minutes | hours } within the { minute | hour | day }” (respectively). For expression x/y, the attribute is constrained to every yth value within the set of allowable values beginning at time x. The x value is inclusive. The wildcard character (*) can be used in the x position, and is equivalent to 0. Increments are only supported within the second, minute, and hour attributes. For second and minute,x and y must each be in the range of [0,59]. For hour, x and y must each be in the range of [0,23].
</quote>

The x and y values are "single" values.

>> but at least I think it should not throw a java.lang.NumberFormatException, a better error message would be nice

Agreed. The error messages for such cases will be reviewed and this will be fixed accordingly. Thanks for reporting.
