Could you elaborate why it is not possible?

Why don't you add the components to the template?Example:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0"          xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"          jcr:description="Template with focus on conte...

So would it come down to the example I provided? (More or less)

My badThis was code that I've written for a project of mine and I wanted to remove anything that didn't have anything to do with your question. Seems like I missed something!Anyway, that "tireDesignFactory" simply creates a new instance that implements Runnable, like your TestScheduler. (So it's cus...

It seemed like simply "restarting" AEM fixed it?Very weird, as it showed no logs, whatsoever.

Let me try to see if I understand correctly what you're trying to achieve here.You have application code (an OSGi component) that schedules a specific task, every 4 hours. You want this task to be done after you've deployed your application code aswell. Let's take the following code as your OSGi com...
