    &lt;/definitions&gt;</pre>

    <p><strong>Objective: Introduce the concept of tasks and how simple trigger
    works</strong> </p>

    <p><strong>Prerequisites:</strong><br />
    You will need access to build the SimpleStockQuoteService as mentioned in the
    above and start the sample axis2 server before staring EI. </p>

    <p>When ever EI gets started with this configuration (i.e. ./wso2EI-samples -sn 300), this task will run
    periodically in 5 second intervals. You could limit the number of times that
    you want to run this task by adding a count attribute with an integer as the
    value, if the count is not present as in this sample this task will run
    forever. </p>

    <p>One can write his own task class implementing the
    org.apache.synapse.startup.Task interface and implementing the execute method
    to do the task. For this particular sample we have used the MessageInjector
    which just injects a message specified into the EI environment. </p>
