All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Triggerable

Interface for user-written triggers. A trigger method is invoked when the time arrives, as determined by a scheduler. A trigger and a scheduler are paired up via a call to TimeServicesDef.getScheduledTrigger(). The trigger is called repeatedly at times specified by the scheduler until the scheduler returns a time value of zero (0), or until the ScheduledTrigger (returned by the T3ServicesDef.getScheduledTrigger() method) is explicitly cancelled, by calling its cancel() method.

If a trigger throws an exception, it is not automatically rescheduled. You must catch exceptions and reschedule the trigger if you want that behavior.
