Hi, I have a EJB 3.0 stateless session bean that starts a timer service when the server starts (by invoking the bean in a ContextInitialized event of the class that implements ServletContextListener). I want to cancel this timer when the server is stopped. So I put the call to cancel the timer in the ContextDestroyed event. But it doesn't find any timers. The same call to cancel the bean works perfectly if I do it in contextinitialized event or anywhere else. It just doesn't work in ContextDestroyed event. Is this because the sessioncontext is not available in contextdestroyed event? Please help. I have posted my code here:
timer bean:
public class NotificationTimerBean implements NotificationTimer {
private SessionContext ctx;
@EJB private EBDataFacade ebDataFacade;
public void setSessionContext(SessionContext sc){
ctx = sc;
}
public void startTimer(String timerName) {
ctx.getTimerService().createTimer(300000, 300000, timer);
}
public void cancelTimer()
{
try
{
TimerService ts = sc.getTimerService();
Collection timers = ts.getTimers();
Iterator it = timers.iterator();
while (it.hasNext())
{
/*This part is not hit during execution*/
Timer notificationTimer = (Timer) it.next();
notificationTimer.cancel();
}
....
Servlet Context Listener Client:
public class ApplicationStartupListener implements ServletContextListener {
@EJB
private static NotificationTimer nTimer;
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
try{
log.info("startup.info.notification.timer.lookup");
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
nTimer = (NotificationTimer)ctx.lookup("NotificationTimer");
// TODO: Move this to ContextDestroyed
nTimer.cancelTimer("Notification Expiry Timer");
nTimer.startTimer("Notification Expiry Timer");
} catch (NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
nTimer.cancelTimer();
}
