Starting Quartz Server using Spring
I have been using quartz to do some batch scheduling on a project. I found that most of the Spring Quartz classes do not really work that well with the 1.6 version of Quartz.
I did find a easy way to start the Quartz scheduler using a simple spring call.
I created a ~SimpleSchedule class in java that will create a simple scheduler.
public class SimpleSchedule
{
private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(SimpleSchedule.class);
public SimpleSchedule()
{
try
{
Scheduler scheduler = this.createScheduler();
// Start the Scheduler running
scheduler.start();
log.info( "Scheduler start at " + new Date());
} catch (SchedulerException ex)
{
log.error(ex);
}
}
public Scheduler createScheduler() throws SchedulerException
{
return StdSchedulerFactory.getDefaultScheduler();
}
}
To get this scheduler to start at load, all I have to do is initialize the bean in spring, and the scheduler is created and loads the default quartz_jobs.xml.
<bean class="edu.unc.its.as.affiliate.quartz.SimpleSchedule"/>
