Configure commonj.TimerManagerFactoryBean within EAR (Weblogic)

[jason.chen]

Hi,

we got the commonj.TimerManagerFactoryBean configured for weblogic and worked fine with the following configuration:

<bean id="timerFactory" class="org.springframework.scheduling.commonj.TimerManagerFactoryBean">
		<property name="resourceRef" value="true" />
		<property name="timerManagerName" value="TimerManagerRef" />
		<property name="scheduledTimerListeners">
			<list>
				<ref bean="runnableListener" />
			</list>
		</property>
	</bean>

And in the web.xml:

	<resource-ref>
		<res-ref-name>TimerManagerRef</res-ref-name>
		<res-type>commonj.timers.TimerManager</res-type>
		<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
		<res-sharing-scope>Unshareable</res-sharing-scope>
	</resource-ref>

I need to migrate the config to an EJB jar but without success because I cannot get Spring to recognize the TimerManagerRef.

I tried configuring the resource-ref to an EJB inside the ejb-jar.xml and Spring still does not recognize it.

Is there any other way? I cannot perform a JNDI lookup to get the timerManager from weblogic either. It seems the only way to get the reference is through the resource-ref.
