EJBs and learn, wonderful. Thanks for that.
Thanks for that, too! We appreciate the note.
But now to my questions:
Is it possible to use the quartz scheduler from an EJB?
if yes, is there any howto?
Does it work if OpenEJB runs in standalone mode, or is an
application server
needed ?
It is possible to use Quartz to fire events to an MDB via a standard
Java EE Connector. That will work in any compliant EJB container.
We don't have a formal tutorial, but the question has come up and this
post gives quite a few details:

For EJB 3.1 there is a new @Schedule annotation which will be really
quite fantastic. Our implementation will use Quartz under the
covers. We have some work on this now, but nothing complete yet. But
a deeper integration is planned.
Hope this helps!
