JBoss EJB2 Timers Service - multiple servers, single TIMERS table?

Question

Hi

I can't find this in the JBoss documentation anywhere, so am asking here.

Can multiple, non-clustered JBoss instances access and share the same TIMERS table (as used by EJB2 Timers Service) without upsetting each other, or does each one need its own table?

In the case of a cluster, is it essential that the nodes in the cluster all have access to the TIMERS table, or do they share information directly over the network?

Thanks in advance for some clarification!
