Hi,
"3. Implement some interesting Triggers, such as one that supports UNIX
crontab or calendar-based timer expressions in EJB."
I was looking at the recommendations (
http://glassfish.java.net/adoptajsr/jsr236.html ) and wondered why EJB and
timers are mentioned. I thought that these can be implemented but may not
exercise the java.util.concurrent support through the container. These
timers seem to be already there(
http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/bnboy.html).
1.2 Goals of this specification
This specification was developed with the following goals in mind:
-
Utilize existing applicable Java EE platform services. Provide a simple
yet flexible API for application component providers to design applications
using concurrency design principles.
-
Allow Java SE developers a simple migration path to the Java EE platform
by providing consistency between the Java SE and Java EE platforms.
-
Allow application component providers to easily add concurrency to
existing Java EE applications.
-
Support simple (common) and advanced concurrency patterns without
sacrificing usability.
Thanks,
Mohan
