    Description

      I am using the EJB timer scheduler for some recurring tasks in my application. There are 3 of them, designed to run overnight, every night (i.e. every 24hours).

      All works well when I deploy the application, and on subsequent deployments. However, when I restart JBoss, the timers run every 24 hours after the RESTART, rather than the proper scheduled time.

      My timer table looks like:

      Code:

      select TIMERID, TARGETID, INITIALDATE, TIMERINTERVAL from TIMERS;
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      ----------------------------------------------------+

      TIMERID TARGETID
      INITIALDATE TIMERINTERVAL

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      ----------------------------------------------------+

      1215864788521 [target=jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=wildfrontiers.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=Time
      rServiceDispatcher]
      2008-07-09 02:00:06 86400000
      1215864788522 [target=jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=wildfrontiers.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=Time
      rServiceDispatcher]
      2008-07-09 01:05:06 86400000
      1215864788523 [target=jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=wildfrontiers.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=Time
      rServiceDispatcher]
      2008-07-09 01:00:06 86400000

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      ----------------------------------------------------+

      So, it I restart JBoss at 6pm, July 12th, the tasks will next run at 6pm July 13th, rather than the expected 1am, 1.05am and 2am 13th July.
