The timers are managed by the timer service. I don't hold them in my EJB which is a STSB and has the timer service injected. My STSB is only a facade for the service and provides methods to create a timer, change a timer or cancel a timer.

I don't see any possibility to identify and access a certain timer by timerservice api. Of course I can get the whole list of active timers by calling timerService.getTimers(). But then I would have to iterate over the collection to find the timer instance I want to change. This isn't nice ;-).

TimerHandles are defined to provide a direct acess to a timer and as mentioned in the ejb3 specification a handle must be able to achieve that (chapter 18):

"The container must implement a timer handle to be usable over the lifetime of the timer."

This default behaviour of the timer table conflicts with the specification.
