Annotation Type Scheduled

@Qualifier
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={PARAMETER,METHOD,FIELD,TYPE})
public @interface Scheduled

A binding annotation for use observing the Event.class event.

The value can either be a schedule in Cron format, or a 'named schedule', whereby the cron-formatted schedule appears in the /cron.properties file on the classpath as the value of the property with the given name.

Example scheduled event observer: public void doSomething(@Observes @Scheduled("0 * * ? * *") Trigger t) { ... }

Example named, scheduled event observer: public void doSomething(@Observes @Scheduled("after.hours") Trigger t) { ... }

Where the 'after.hours' schedule would be specified in /cron.properties like so: after.hours=0 0 * ? * *

Scheduled bindings may be made typesafe using the following pattern:
