Implement EJB applications that use timers

Use this task when we are implementing EJB applications that use timers.

In WebSphere Application Server, the EJB Timer Service implements EJB Timers as a new Scheduler Service task. By default, an internal (or pre-configured) scheduler instance is used to manage those tasks, and they are persisted to an Apache Derby database associated with the server process. Creation and cancellation of Timer objects are transactional and persistent. That is, if a Timer object is created within a transaction and that transaction is later rolled back, the Timer object's creation is rolled back as well. Similar rules apply to the cancellation of a Timer object. Timer objects also survive across application server shutdowns and restarts. We can also configure and manage the EJB timer service for a specific EJB container
