Job Scheduler
I have to use job scheduler for creating agent. Is there any J2EE time scheduling API are there for it.
I am using Weblogic, in 6.1 Time Services are deprecated. And they are recommeding got FLUX job scheduler.
By using FLUX can i be able to deploy my application on any J2EE servers.
Is there any other alternate way of doing the things for job scheduler.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, WebLogic deprecated their job scheduler in anticipation of the EJB Timer Service becoming available.
Now that the EJB Timer Service is out, you can use that with WebLogic.
As of WebLogic 8.1, BEA is still mentioning the Flux Java job scheduler:

The EJB Timer Service allows beans to be invoked on after a fixed number of milliseconds, with optional repetition.
If your needs go beyond that, Flux may be able to help. The Flux Java job scheduler feature set is very deep. If it helps, Flux is also a Java workflow engine.
