Hello Vladimir,
@Schedule annotation does not allow to specify start and end date - the ScheduleExpression does. Deployment descriptor (when supported) will allow to specify the start and the end date via a <timer> element.
ScheduleExpression is now supported (there can be bugs ;) ), but per EJB 3.1 spec, it is available only for programmatically created timers (and only a single timeout method).
HTH,
