Sorry this should have been there two pages:
( I will ask the questions someone reading the Java-Doc may ask)
*1)
http://java.sun.com/javaee/6/docs/api/javax/ejb/Schedule.html*
hour is a String (is this 24 hour, 12 hour, should I put AM after the hour
?)
info is a String , what is that ?
timezone is a String , what is that ?
month is a String , can this be 1, Jan, January, jan etc ?
day is a String, I know it can't be Thur, it must be Thu ( I only found this
out by trial and error)
Some examples like 'man contab' would be great :
* # MIN HOUR DAY MONTH DAYOFWEEK COMMAND
# at 6:10 a.m. every day
10 6 * * * date
# every two hours at the top of the hour
0 */2 * * * date
# every two hours from 11p.m. to 7a.m., and at 8a.m.
0 23-7/2,8 * * * date
# at 11:00 a.m. on the 4th and on every mon, tue, wed
0 11 4 * mon-wed date
# 4:00 a.m. on january 1st
0 4 1 jan * date*
*2)
http://java.sun.com/javaee/6/docs/api/javax/ejb/ScheduleExpression.html*
ScheduleExpression ScheduleExpression::end(java.util.Date e) , what is that,
how do I use this ? Why does it return another instance of
ScheduleExpression ? Should this be static ?
ScheduleExpression second(int s), what is that ? Why does it return another
instance of ScheduleExpression ? Should this be static ?
etc.
There are some great docs here :
