TimerHandle (Java EE 8)

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public interface TimerHandle
extends java.io.Serializable
```
The TimerHandle interface allows the bean provider to obtain a serializable timer handle that may be persisted.
Since timers are local objects, a timer handle must not be passed through a bean's remote business interface, remote interface or web service interface.

Since:

EJB 2.1
