Java Ejb Schedule is not being triggered

Question

I have a @Schedule method that i'm trying to debug, but is not being triggered:

@Singleton
public class FileScheduler {

    @EJB
    private DaoFactory daoFactory;

    @Schedule(persistent = false, minute = "1")
    public void FilesSubmited() throws EmailException {
        System.out.println("Init");
      
    }

What could be the reason that the schedule is not being activated?

Answer 1

You probably need @Startup . And if you want it to run every minute, the expression should be "*/1" ( more about expressions ):

@Startup
@Singleton
public class FileScheduler {

    @EJB
    private DaoFactory daoFactory;

    @Schedule(persistent = false, minute = "*/1")
    public void FilesSubmited() throws EmailException {
        System.out.println("Init");
      
    }
}

The EJB container initiates the singleton session bean upon application deployment if the singleton is annotated with the @Startup annotation.
