[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - How to call a EJB method at deploy time

[stefan.lang@amigon.de]

Is there a best-practice for the follwing case:

1. EJB should poll all 5 minutes a file (or whatever)
2. send the file to JMS (or whatever)

my solution:

1. Create Session Bean 
2. Deploy Session Bean 
3. Create Client that calls Session bean with Method START_FIRST_TIME()
4. Session Bean registers Timer 
5. Timer calls session bean DO_THE_WORK() all 5 minutes

>From now on it works fine independent as long as Jboss is running (because timers are persistent and survives shutdowns)


So I need step 2 and 3 one ONE time. That is ugly. 

Any better suggestion (as long as we keep in EJB Standard)?
Any Mbean service available that can do this by configuration ?
