Methods Summary
public Timer	createTimer(long duration, java.io.Serializable info) Create a single-action timer that expires after a specified duration. param duration The number of milliseconds that must elapse before the timer expires. param info Application information to be delivered along with the timer expiration notification. This can be null. return The newly created Timer. exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException If duration is negative exception java.lang.IllegalStateException If this method is invoked while the instance is in a state that does not allow access to this method. exception javax.ejb.EJBException If this method fails due to a system-level failure.
public Timer	createTimer(long initialDuration, long intervalDuration, java.io.Serializable info) Create an interval timer whose first expiration occurs after a specified duration, and whose subsequent expirations occur after a specified interval. param initialDuration The number of milliseconds that must elapse before the first timer expiration notification. param intervalDuration The number of milliseconds that must elapse between timer expiration notifications. Expiration notifications are scheduled relative to the time of the first expiration. If expiration is delayed(e.g. due to the interleaving of other method calls on the bean) two or more expiration notifications may occur in close succession to "catch up". param info Application information to be delivered along with the timer expiration. This can be null. return The newly created Timer. exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException If initialDuration is negative, or intervalDuration is negative. exception java.lang.IllegalStateException If this method is invoked while the instance is in a state that does not allow access to this method. exception javax.ejb.EJBException If this method could not complete due to a system-level failure.
public Timer	createTimer(java.util.Date expiration, java.io.Serializable info) Create a single-action timer that expires at a given point in time. param expiration The point in time at which the timer must expire. param info Application information to be delivered along with the timer expiration notification. This can be null. return The newly created Timer. exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException If expiration is null, or expiration.getTime() is negative. exception java.lang.IllegalStateException If this method is invoked while the instance is in a state that does not allow access to this method. exception javax.ejb.EJBException If this method could not complete due to a system-level failure.
public Timer	createTimer(java.util.Date initialExpiration, long intervalDuration, java.io.Serializable info) Create an interval timer whose first expiration occurs at a given point in time and whose subsequent expirations occur after a specified interval. param initialExpiration The point in time at which the first timer expiration must occur. param intervalDuration The number of milliseconds that must elapse between timer expiration notifications. Expiration notifications are scheduled relative to the time of the first expiration. If expiration is delayed(e.g. due to the interleaving of other method calls on the bean) two or more expiration notifications may occur in close succession to "catch up". param info Application information to be delivered along with the timer expiration. This can be null. return The newly created Timer. exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException If initialExpiration is null, or initialExpiration.getTime() is negative, or intervalDuration is negative. exception java.lang.IllegalStateException If this method is invoked while the instance is in a state that does not allow access to this method. exception javax.ejb.EJBException If this method could not complete due to a system-level failure.
public java.util.Collection	getTimers() Get all the active timers associated with this bean. return A collection of javax.ejb.Timer objects. exception java.lang.IllegalStateException If this method is invoked while the instance is in a state that does not allow access to this method. exception javax.ejb.EJBException If this method could not complete due to a system-level failure.
