Scheduled Actions:The java implementation,how does it works?

Hi,

I got a look at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Scheduled_Actions which explain the concept of scheduled actions. It is quite good but I know we need to reference java code to run the scheduled action. Particularly, we have to implement a java bean, but I know nothing more. There are no code examples on wiki, which class do I need to extend, which interfaces do I need to implement, basically, which part of the API do I need to use ?

Any code example will be great !

Thanks for your help.

I tried to set parameters in the .xml as required. My script names "autoImport.js". Unfortunately, the script doesn't run every minutes as I expect. Why ?
