Timer Daemon

The Timer Daemon provides the ability to trigger events on a JNDI bound object. This means that it is very similar to a cron process on a unix system. It also works in conjunction with the Jython Daemon to enable it to trigger python scripts when required.

Any Daemon that needs to perform processing on a task at a pre-determined time need only register an event with the timer object. The timer object persists its events in an SQL database. By default this is provided by the HsqlDB Daemon Engine.
