Spring Scheduler does not work

Question

I have a problem with Spring's annotation based task scheduler - I can't get it working, I don't see any problem here...

application-context.xml

<task:scheduler id="taskScheduler" /> <task:executor id="taskExecutor" pool-size="1" /> <task:annotation-driven executor="taskExecutor" scheduler="taskScheduler" /> 

bean

@Service public final class SchedulingTest {      private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(SchedulingTest.class);      @Scheduled(fixedRate = 1000)     public void test() {         logger.debug(">>> Scheduled test service <<<");     }  } 

Answer 1

Spring @Configuration (non-xml configuration) for annotation-driven tasks

Just add @EnableScheduling on your WebMvcConfig class

     import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;     import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableAsync;     import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableScheduling;     import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;     import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;      @Configuration     @EnableWebMvc     @EnableAsync     @EnableScheduling     public class WebMvcConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {        /** Annotations config Stuff ... **/     }  

Answer 2

If you want to use task:annotation-driven approach and your @Scheduled annotation is not working, then you most probably missed context:component-scan in your context xml. Without this line, spring cannot guess where to search for your annotations.

<context:component-scan base-package="..." />
