Hello all,

We have an application running on JBoss -4.2.1GA, and there is some method 
annotated as @Timeout. In other words, we have defined a timer in the 
application, and it  invokes this method in timely manner. The timed method 
initializes some action, which needs to use external scripting engine. This is 
the Groovy, for instance. There is a control element in GUI, that allows to 
activate/deactivate the timer.  Actually, activation creates a new instance of 
the timer, while deactivation cancels existing one. 

We have noticed, that when JBoss is started and the timer is on, there is a 
problem with loading scripting engines (It is performed in 
javax.script.ScriptEngineManager class). The application's check whether 
scripting engine named Groovy exists, fails, and therefore no scripting engine 
can be loaded. If the same action is initialized not by timed method, but, 
let's say, by some GUI event, manually, everything is going fine, and scripting 
engine is being  loaded perfectly. Otherwise, if  the timer is turned off 
before JBoss shut down, then, after restarting the application and manual start 
of the timer, everything goes fine as well. And, if  after scripting engine 
loading failure, we just restart the timer, everything is OK!

We suppose, that there is some problem with ClassLoader if the timer is alive 
when JBoss is starting, and some external classes are not loaded.  Did anybody 
encountered such a problem? Is there any way to force cancellation of all 
timers and creation of new instances during JBoss initialization?

Thanks in advance!
