How does javax.ejb.TimerService (Glassfish 3.1.2.2) know which bean to execute?
In the Java EE 6 tutorial we learn that we can define timer callbacks in an enterprise bean:
@Timeout
public void timeout(Timer timer) {
System.out.println("TimerBean: timeout occurred");
}
Then we can schedule programmatic timers like this:
@Resource
TimerService timerService;
...
// Sets a programmatic timer that will expire in 1 minute (6,000 milliseconds):
long duration = 6000;
Timer timer = timerService.createSingleActionTimer(duration, new TimerConfig());
How does the TimeService know which bean to call? There can only be one annotated method in the bean, but how does it know which bean to call? this is not a parameter of createSingleActionTimer.
