Interface MultiTimeoutMethodTimedObjectInvoker

All Superinterfaces:

TimedObjectInvoker

public interface MultiTimeoutMethodTimedObjectInvoker
extends TimedObjectInvoker

A MultiTimeoutMethodTimedObjectInvoker can handle multiple timeout methods.

This is unlike the TimedObjectInvoker which knows that there exists just one timeout method on the target timed object

The timer service implementation is responsible for passing the correct timeout method to the callTimeout(Timer, Method). The timeout method depends on the Timer for which the timeout occurred.

Method Summary

void	callTimeout(javax.ejb.Timer timer, java.lang.reflect.Method timeoutMethod) Responsible for invoking the timeout method on the target object.
