How to set schedule in JBOSS 3.x?

Question

As you know, JBOSS can set schedule to do something. So I want to use this facility to schedule a task. The task is as follows,
1. At 23h59'59 everyday, the task will be done.
2. Or At 23h59'59 in the last date of month, the task will be done.
I use Jboss 3.2.1 and schedule_service.xml. So how can I config this xml file for two above tasks.
I found the config code for the period timer, but in my case, it cannot be in useful. See the following,
<server>
<classpath codebase="lib" archives="scheduler-plugin.jar,scheduler-telephony.jar"/>
<mbean code="org.jboss.varia.scheduler.Scheduler" name=":service=Scheduler">
<attribute name="StartAtStartup">true</attribute>
<attribute name="SchedulableClass">com.cdit.telephony.schedule.OracleSchedule</attribute>
<attribute name="SchedulableArguments">Schedulabe call,InfogateOracleDS</attribute>
<attribute name="SchedulableArgumentTypes">java.lang.String,java.lang.String</attribute>
<attribute name="InitialStartDate">0</attribute>
<attribute name="SchedulePeriod">5000</attribute>
<attribute name="InitialRepetitions">-1</attribute>
</mbean>
</server>
Thanks in advance!

Hope you haven't been waiting for two years for this but for sake of reference:
1) You could write your own code that is scheduled to run frequently, say every minute, and then when this is fired off you work out for yourself if its not time to do anything usefull. Basically you get polled and you manage your own list of taks.
2) You can make use of InitialStartDate and SchedulePeriod to make jobs fire at set times a day. Read up on the docs for jboss and you'll see that you can set the start date in the past and then set the schedule period to a day in milliseconds to get a job run once every day. eg:
<attribute name="InitialStartDate">01/01/1970 13:12</attribute>
<attribute name="InitialRepetitions">-1</attribute>
<attribute name="SchedulePeriod">86400000</attribute>
would run at 1:12pm every day (The Initial Start Date is in your locale format). I think you'd need to use a combination of daily run jobs and your own date checking, to try and get something run on the last day of every month.
