I was not declaring jboss-seam.jar in application.xml so I resolved that and now a timer runs but it cannot find the EJB containing the @Asynchronous method (SystemManagerBean).
Here is what is displayed when the timer runs (emphasis added)... EJB5018: An exception was thrown during an ejb invocation on [Dispatcher] javax.ejb.EJBException at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.processSystemException(BaseContainer.java:3869) at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.completeNewTx(BaseContainer.java:3769) at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.postInvokeTx(BaseContainer.java:3571) at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.postInvoke(BaseContainer.java:1354) at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.postInvoke(BaseContainer.java:1316) at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.callEJBTimeout(BaseContainer.java:2855) at com.sun.ejb.containers.EJBTimerService.deliverTimeout(EJBTimerService.java:1401) at com.sun.ejb.containers.EJBTimerService.access$100(EJBTimerService.java:99) at com.sun.ejb.containers.EJBTimerService$TaskExpiredWork.run(EJBTimerService.java:1952) at com.sun.ejb.containers.EJBTimerService$TaskExpiredWork.service(EJBTimerService.java:1948) at com.sun.ejb.containers.util.WorkAdapter.doWork(WorkAdapter.java:75) at com.sun.corba.ee.impl.orbutil.threadpool.ThreadPoolImpl$WorkerThread.run(ThreadPoolImpl.java:555) Caused by: org.jboss.seam.InstantiationException: Could not instantiate Seam component: systemManager at org.jboss.seam.Component.newInstance(Component.java:1740) at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1643) at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1610) at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1604) at org.jboss.seam.core.Dispatcher$AsynchronousInvocation.call(Dispatcher.java:122) at org.jboss.seam.core.Dispatcher$Asynchronous.execute(Dispatcher.java:88) at org.jboss.seam.core.Dispatcher.dispatch(Dispatcher.java:165) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at com.sun.enterprise.security.application.EJBSecurityManager.runMethod(EJBSecurityManager.java:1067) at com.sun.enterprise.security.SecurityUtil.invoke(SecurityUtil.java:176) at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.invokeTargetBeanMethod(BaseContainer.java:2895) at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.callEJBTimeout(BaseContainer.java:2824) ... 6 more Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: No object bound to name java:comp/env/mlm-ear-1.0/SystemManagerBean/local at com.sun.enterprise.naming.NamingManagerImpl.lookup(NamingManagerImpl.java:834) at com.sun.enterprise.naming.java.javaURLContext.lookup(javaURLContext.java:173) at com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialContext.lookup(SerialContext.java:337) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:392) at org.jboss.seam.Component.instantiateSessionBean(Component.java:1107) at org.jboss.seam.Component.instantiate(Component.java:1093) at org.jboss.seam.Component.newInstance(Component.java:1736) ... 20 more EJB5119:Expunging timer ['4@@1198695363541@@server@@domain1' 'TimedObject = Dispatcher' 'Application = mlm-ear-1.0' 'BEING_DELIVERED' 'SINGLE-ACTION' 'Container ID = 78557698959015936' 'Wed Dec 26 11:57:02 MST 2007' '0' ] after [2] failed deliveries I declare the SystemManagerBean as follows: @Name(value = "systemManager") | @Stateless | public class SystemManagerBean implements SystemManager { | I made a guess thinking it might be a glassfish embedded EJB issue and added the following to ejb-jar.xml but it did not help. <session> | <ejb-name>Dispatcher</ejb-name> | <ejb-local-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>mlm-ear-1.0/SystemManagerBean/local</ejb-ref-name> | <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type> | <local>com.el.mlm.SystemManager</local> | <ejb-link>SystemManagerBean</ejb-link> | </ejb-local-ref> | </session> Thanks for your help.
