Я пытаюсь проверить аннотацию @Schedule с помощью следующего кода:

import javax.ejb.Schedule;
import javax.ejb.Singleton;
import javax.ejb.Startup;

@Singleton
@Startup
public class TimerTest {

    public TimerTest() {

    }

    @Schedule(second = "*", minute = "*", hour = "*")
    public void sayHello() {
        System.out.println("Hello");
    }

}

Однако при развертывании его на автономном экземпляре wildfly 8.1.0 (окончательный вариант) в журналах появляются следующие сообщения об ошибках:

Любые идеи относительно того, что может быть причиной этого?
