Well cron style works as well, with an interesting little caveat due
to the fact that any timers that went off while the app server were
down should be run when restarted during a failure. I'm working on
a project around this principal actually, converting a bunch of old
perl scripts to something a bit more modern. We ended up using a
standalone process w/ openejb and created a scheduler based on the
scripts. It works good, but when I start the container all of the
jobs kick off, but then resume typical operation.
Ironically, it's exactly what the spec describes to be what should
happen.
Right, we're definitely open to some contributions there if anyone
wanted to take a stab at it.
We always have an open door policy regardless, but this area in
particular would be a nice spot to dig in.
