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.

You are really leaving out some important details...can you elaborate a bit more?

Flux is a temporary BEA recommendation since they deprecated their own scheduler. If you wait until Weblogic 7.0 they will give you one for free out of the box.

Weblogic 7 is now out, does it in fact have a job scheduler?Thanks,Darrin

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:

http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/pdf/toolstable.pdf

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.
