Having a lot of levels will add indirection and potentially slow down your deployments, but I don&#39;t see any issues giving people that choice.<br /><br />Definitely the cron built-in @hourly @daily, etc. were an inspiration for me as well and I did make this proposal in EJB 3.1 while we were talking about @Schedule. There was definitely interest and we might see it in a future EJB spec -- though likely after EJB 3.2.<br /><br />I&#39;ve worked on it in OpenEJB and am hoping to have a prototype in another week.David Blevinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16084891987160395485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974209436265167833.post-3240111376996676782011-01-03T22:50:20.018-08:002011-01-03T22:50:20.018-08:00This for sure looks interesting. Would you allow stereotypes to inherit from each other?<br /><br />For the @Daily stereotype: I voted in the EJB3 cycle to directly have such keywords (basically what you have in newer cron implementations) within @ScheduleHeiko W.
