-    <title>Using JDK Timer support</title>

-    <para>The other way to schedule jobs in Spring is to use JDK
-    <classname>Timer</classname> objects. You can create custom timers or use
-    the timer that invokes methods. Wiring timers is done using the
-    <classname>TimerFactoryBean</classname>.</para>
