The spec requires that the container call ejbTimeout at least once for any periodic timer that
missed at least one delivery due to the server being shutdown. That's part of the persistent
timer delivery guarantee.
Are you looking for more of a transient timer whose lifetime is only
tied to the JVM in which it was created?
