Glassfish timer service: what am I doing wrong?

Question

Hey guys,

I'm trying to set a timer for a Stateless EJB in Glassfish 2.1:

@Stateless(mappedName = "ServiceEJB")
public class ServiceEJB implements ServiceEJBRemote {

  // other methods ... 

  // defining the timer
  @Schedule(second="*/15", minute="*", hour="*")
  public void test(){
    System.out.println("++++++++ timer!!! ++++++++++++++++++++");
  }

}

From what I've read, all I need to do is deploy the application and this should work. I was expecting to see in the log the printed text from the method test (every 15 seconds). Are there any other steps I need to take in order for this to work?

Thank you!

Following my comment to the question:

The @Schedule annotation is a feature of EJB 3.1. Glassfish 2.1 uses EJB 3 whereas Glassfish 3 uses EJB 3.1 and therefore should be suited better.
