| <p>Provides the definition of the Timer MBean. A Timer MBean |
| maintains a list of scheduled notifications and, because it is a |
| {@link javax.management.NotificationBroadcaster |
| NotificationBroadcaster}, a list of listeners for those |
| notifications. Whenever the time for one of the scheduled |
| notifications is reached, each listener receives the |
| notification. Notifications can be repeated at a fixed |
| interval, and the number of repetitions can be bounded.</p> |
| |
| <p>A listener for a Timer MBean can itself be an MBean, using |
| the method {@link |
| javax.management.MBeanServer#addNotificationListener(ObjectName, |
| ObjectName, NotificationFilter, Object)}. In this way, a |
| management application can create an MBean representing a task, |
| then schedule that task using a Timer MBean.</p> |
