 		to <classname>Timer</classname> or <classname>Trigger</classname> instances, respectively.
 		Furthermore, a convenience class for both the Quartz Scheduler and the <classname>Timer</classname> is
 		available that allows you to invoke a method of an existing target object
 		(analogous to the normal <classname>MethodInvokingFactoryBean</classname> operation).
