Hi, I have a web application deployed on weblogic 9.2 and the application has a servletcontextlistener and in the contextinitialized method, i am starting a timertask which will ftp a file to a remotre server every 24 hrs. Now if i keep the application in a state prepared, will the timer still run? I ask this question because a state = prepared means that the server will not accept requests...but the timer runs without the need of an external request...so will it continue to run? I am not in a postion to find the answer by a trial error basis as ftp-ing the file will have bad consequences...so lookign for some help on this forum! Thank you very much!
