When a work manager has
been configured, if it references a logical
work manager it must be bound to a physical work manager using an
assembly
tool. Then resources can be created and bound to a physical timer.
Before you begin
Your administrator
needs to configure at least one timer manager using
the administrative console.
About this task
If your application
references one or more logical timer managers,
the logical timer managers must be bound to one or more physical timer
managers
using an assembly tool, such as the Rational Application Developer.
Procedure
- Declare a resource reference for each timer manager
(required action
by the application developer). This forms an EAR file. (For more information
on resource references, refer to the References topic.)
- Bind each resource reference to a physical timer manager,
using
an assembly
tool.
- Add a resource reference with
the type commonj.timers.TimerManager
to the application deployment descriptor. The application
then
can look up this timer manager using its resource reference name in
java:comp.
The assembly tool can specify which resource references are bound
to a physical
timer manager.
Attention: The previous steps outline the
same process
used for data sources.
