Binding Services with Timer

Here's an example of what a timer service binding looks like:

<sca:composite name="camel-binding" targetNamespace="urn:switchyard-quickstart:camel-binding:0.1.0">
    <sca:service name="GreetingService" promote="GreetingService">
        <camel:binding.timer>
            <camel:name>GreetingTimer</camel:name>
            <camel:time>2012-01-01T12:00:00</camel:time>
            <camel:pattern>yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss</camel:pattern>
            <camel:delay>1000</camel:delay>
            <camel:fixedRate>true</camel:fixedRate>
        </camel:binding.timer>
    </sca:service>
</sca:composite>
