Server-side java timers
We are building a system which will connect our ActionScript 3 client to a server-side java back-end through BlazeDS. At this point in the project, we are required to build in a timer system, which will update a sprite on the client to show time remaining. Several clients will be connected to the java back end at once, so what is the most efficient and effective way to run a Java.utils timer on the server side, which will update all the connected clients with the time remaining information?

I'm totally unfamiliar with BlazeDS, however, I've just found this document which describes something very similar to what you're trying to achieve. As far as I understood it at least.

This is more about JMS:

And this callback example with CORBA - CORBA was popular some yaers ago, but not much iused now:

Usually CORBA is good for cross-language access, for Java on both sides RMI
usually can be used instead of CORBA, however I'm not sure RMI provides callbacks, and to set up RMI server on the client no matter how lightweight it is,
it is still inconvemience
