[seam-dev] Seam Cron API for scheduled .... things

[Pete Royle]

Hi All,

Having trouble deciding on something. Originally observer methods for 
scheduled events were quite readable and intuitive, eg:

public void doStuff(@Observes @Scheduled("10:00") Event e) { ... }

However, due to possible confusion between 
org.jboss.seam.cron.events.Event and javax.enterprise.event.Event Event 
was renamed to CronEvent. This is fine, but I wonder if there's any 
better options. Viable options I've thought of so far include:

@Observes @Scheduled("10:00") CronEvent ce
@Observes @Scheduled("10:00") Instant i
@Observes @Scheduled("10:00") Moment m
@Observes @Scheduled("10:00") Tick t
@Observes @Scheduled("10:00") Occurrence o
@Observes @Scheduled("10:00") Appointment a

Or maybe go for something different like:

@Observes @At("10:00") Schedule s
@Observes @Recurring("10:00") Schedule s

I figured since this is going to be the most used part of the API I 
would throw it out there for discussion and to see if there are any 
better ideas out there.

It's probably worth mentioining that another part of the API looks like 
this:

@Observes @Every Second s
@Observes @Every Minute m
@Observes @Every Hour h

Thanks for the feedback.
