Seam 2.0.0.GA, JBoss 4.2.1

Hi, I'm fairly sure this is a Seam bug.

I've set up an ObserveInitilization class as suggested by Pete Muir here: http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/DoingSomethingAtStartupWithSeam

It looks like this:

@Name("observeInitialization")
public class ObserveInitialization {

 @In(create=true)
 Updater updater;

 @Observer("org.jboss.seam.postInitialization")
 public void start() {
 initialize(30 * 1000l);
 }

 @Asynchronous
 public void initialize(@Duration long durationInMilliseconds) {
 updater.update(new Date(), "0 0/3 * * * ?");
 }
}

The Updater class looks like this:

@Name("updater")
public class Updater {

 @In
 private EntityManager entityManager;

 @Logger
 private Log log;

 @Asynchronous
 public void update(@Expiration Date start, @IntervalCron String cron) {
 //...
 }
}

The issue is this code calls ThreadPoolDispatcher.scheduleWithExecutorService, which casts the return value of createSchedule to a TimerSchedule.

Because I'm using an @IntervalCron the return value of createSchedule is a CronSchedule which extends Schedule, but not TimerSchedule, so I get a ClassCastException

I compared this to the Quartz example packaged with Seam.

That example also calls createSchedule but as a parameter to QuartzDispatcher.scheduleWithQuartzService which accepts a Schedule, thus no ClassCastException.

Has anyone else run into this?
