shanthosh yogamurugan commented on JBAS-8221:
---------------------------------------------

Here goes the explanation :
The timer service did save the next timeout but not the consecutive timeouts . If you restore the timer with with one of the programmed schedule after the current time ,  the timer restores perfectly.

> If you restart JBoss after an interval timer has expired it re-expires. This means the timer is, in effect, called every timer the server is restarted.
> The spec [section 18.4.2] states what should happen between a server crash and a restart - "Any interval timers that have expired during the intervening time must cause the timeout callback method to be invoked at least once upon restart."
