spring 4 with quartz scheduler

Question

configuration

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages="com.lokesh.tracker.integrations.jobs")
public class QuartzConfig {

    public JobDetailFactoryBean dailySummary(){
        JobDetailFactoryBean bean=new JobDetailFactoryBean();
        bean.setJobClass(DailySummary.class);
        bean.setName("dailySummary");
        bean.setGroup("dailySummaries");
        return bean;
    }


    public CronTriggerFactoryBean dailySummarytrigger(){
        CronTriggerFactoryBean bean=new CronTriggerFactoryBean();
        bean.setJobDetail(dailySummary().getObject());
        bean.setStartDelay(5000);
        bean.setBeanName("dailySummarytrigger");
        bean.setGroup("dailySummaries");
        bean.setCronExpression("0 0/1 * 1/1 * ? *");
        return bean;
    }

    @Bean
    public SchedulerFactoryBean schedulerFactoryBean() {
        SchedulerFactoryBean scheduler = new SchedulerFactoryBean();
        scheduler.setTriggers(dailySummarytrigger().getObject());
        return scheduler;
    } 
}

Job

@DisallowConcurrentExecution
public class DailySummary extends QuartzJobBean{

    @Override
    protected void executeInternal(JobExecutionContext arg0)
            throws JobExecutionException {
        System.out.println("hello");
    }

}

Can some identify my errors. i am using Quartz for the first time. so i could not understand what it says in the error.In this example i want to execute daily summmary class with quartz.

Answer 1

You should annotate your dailySummarytrigger , dailySummary with @Bean annotation. These are full Spring beans and there is a post processing that happens before these beans are fully realized. You are bypassing these by not annotating them with @Bean

Answer 2

You should use the @Scheduled annotation from spring instead of this configuration.

Check out this documentations: http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/4.0.0.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/htmlsingle/#scheduling

All you need to do is to create a Scheduler bean and then annotate the method you like to run on a scheduled time with @Scheduled(cron="0 0/1 * 1/1 * ? *")
