title: Java EE Scheduler Task using EJB Timers
body: <p>I've a requirement which requires 3-6 scheduled task to run at a given time of the day. I am completely new to EJB timers, but have read that EJB timers is the best way to handle scheduled task in a Java EE container.</p>
  
  <p>Design Question:</p>
  
  <p>Let's say I need 10 scheduled tasks. I don't want to have, if possible, 10 EJB timers created.
  Instead I would like to have a one off EJB timer created and then reuse this for creating as much scheduled jobs as requried, passing the scheduled time to run  (as aruguements) for each instance, to is this possible? Can someone please help with a skeleton code on this please?</p>
  
  <p>N.B I am thinking of using non-persistent EJB timers ...</p>
