I have a stateless session bean that declares a timer service:

        @Resource
        private TimerService timerService;

I then wish to initialize the timer service after the construction is complete and all dependency injection has taken place:

        @PostConstruct
        public void postConstruct() {
                timerService.createTimer(CLEANUP_INTERVAL, null);
        }

However, I get:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: EJB Timer method calls cannot be called in this context

Is there any reason why I can't initialize a timer after the session bean has been created? It seems like a logical place to do so.
