Best practice using Using the WebLogic Timer Service

Question

Hi,
We have a stateless session bean having a method which needs to be called lezs
say every 10 Seconds. I think the WebLogic Timer Service (JMX) should exactly
fit in this problem. So I would write a small class implementing the interface
NotificationListener which will receive the notification. The listener I would
register in my startup class.
This brings up some questions:
Could this class be a inner class of the SessionBean and directly calling the
method on the bean ?
Has it to be a more independent class gettting an initiali context, getting local
home, etc. etc. and then executing the method on the received Stub ? If yes can
it keep the Stub betwean the interval without releasing ?
Has someone experiance in this area ?
Regards
Tomy

Actually, it's bad practice to use break anywhere other than in conjunction with a switch statement.Presumably, if you favour:
boolean test = true;
while (test)
  test = foo && bar;
  if (test)
}overfor (;;)
  if (! ( foo && bar) ) break;
}then you also favour
boolean test = foo && bar;
if (test)
}overif (foo && bar)
}Or can you justify your statement with any example which doesn't cause more complexity, more variables in scope, and multiple assignments and tests?
