<title>Using the OpenSymphony Quartz Scheduler</title>
<para>Quartz uses <classname>Trigger</classname>, <classname>Job</classname> and
<classname>JobDetail</classname> objects to realize scheduling of all kinds of jobs.
For the basic concepts behind Quartz, have a look at
<ulink url="http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz" />. For convenience purposes,
Spring offers a couple of classes that simplify the usage of Quartz within
Spring-based applications.
</para>
<section id="scheduling-quartz-jobdetail">
<title>Using the JobDetailBean</title>
<para>
<classname>JobDetail</classname> objects contain all information needed to
run a job. The Spring Framework provides a <classname>JobDetailBean</classname>
that makes the <classname>JobDetail</classname> more of an actual JavaBean
with sensible defaults. Let's have a look at an example:
</para>
<programlisting language="xml"><![CDATA[
<bean name="exampleJob" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDetailBean">
<property name="jobClass" value="example.ExampleJob" />
<property name="jobDataAsMap">
<map>
<entry key="timeout" value="5" />
</map>
</property>
</bean>]]></programlisting>
<para>The job detail bean has all information it needs to run the job (<classname>ExampleJob</classname>).
The timeout is specified in the job data map. The job data map is
available through the <classname>JobExecutionContext</classname>
(passed to you at execution time), but the <classname>JobDetailBean</classname>
also maps the properties from the job data map to properties of the actual job.
So in this case, if the <classname>ExampleJob</classname> contains a property
named <literal>timeout</literal>, the <classname>JobDetailBean</classname> will
automatically apply it:</para>
<programlisting language="java"><![CDATA[package example;
public class ExampleJob extends QuartzJobBean {
private int timeout;
/**
* Setter called after the ExampleJob is instantiated
* with the value from the JobDetailBean (5)
*/
public void setTimeout(int timeout) {
this.timeout = timeout;
}
protected void executeInternal(JobExecutionContext ctx) throws JobExecutionException {
]]><lineannotation>// do the actual work</lineannotation><![CDATA[
}
}]]></programlisting>
<para>All additional settings from the job detail bean are of course available to you as well.</para>
<para><emphasis>Note: Using the <literal>name</literal> and <literal>group</literal> properties,
you can modify the name and the group of the job, respectively. By default, the name of
the job matches the bean name of the job detail bean (in the example above, this is
<literal>exampleJob</literal>).</emphasis></para>
</section>
<section id="scheduling-quartz-method-invoking-job">
<title>Using the <classname>MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean</classname></title>
<para>Often you just need to invoke a method on a specific object. Using the
<classname>MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean</classname> you can do exactly this:</para>
<programlisting language="xml"><![CDATA[<bean id="jobDetail" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
<property name="targetObject" ref="exampleBusinessObject" />
<property name="targetMethod" value="doIt" />
</bean>]]></programlisting>
<para>The above example will result in the <literal>doIt</literal> method being called on the
<literal>exampleBusinessObject</literal> method (see below):</para>
<programlisting language="java"><![CDATA[public class ExampleBusinessObject {
]]><lineannotation>// properties and collaborators</lineannotation><![CDATA[
public void doIt() {
]]><lineannotation>// do the actual work</lineannotation><![CDATA[
}
}]]></programlisting>
<programlisting language="xml"><![CDATA[
<bean id="exampleBusinessObject" class="examples.ExampleBusinessObject"/>]]></programlisting>
<para>Using the <classname>MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean</classname>, you don't need to
create one-line jobs that just invoke a method, and you only need to create the actual
business object and wire up the detail object.</para>
<para>By default, Quartz Jobs are stateless, resulting in the possibility of jobs interfering
with each other. If you specify two triggers for the same <classname>JobDetail</classname>,
it might be possible that before the first job has finished, the second one will start.
If <classname>JobDetail</classname> classes implement the
<interfacename>Stateful</interfacename> interface, this won't happen. The second job
will not start before the first one has finished. To make jobs resulting from the
<classname>MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean</classname> non-concurrent, set the
<literal>concurrent</literal> flag to <literal>false</literal>.</para>
<programlisting language="xml"><![CDATA[
<bean id="jobDetail" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
<property name="targetObject" ref="exampleBusinessObject" />
<property name="targetMethod" value="doIt" />

<title>Wiring up jobs using triggers and the <classname>SchedulerFactoryBean</classname></title>
<para>
We've created job details and jobs. We've also reviewed the convenience bean
that allows to you invoke a method on a specific object. Of course, we still need
to schedule the jobs themselves. This is done using triggers and a
<classname>SchedulerFactoryBean</classname>. Several triggers are available
within Quartz. Spring offers two subclassed triggers with convenient defaults:
<classname>CronTriggerBean</classname> and <classname>SimpleTriggerBean</classname>.
</para>
<para>
Triggers need to be scheduled. Spring offers a <classname>SchedulerFactoryBean</classname>
that exposes triggers to be set as properties. <classname>SchedulerFactoryBean</classname>
schedules the actual jobs with those triggers.
</para>
<para>Find below a couple of examples:</para>
<programlisting language="xml"><![CDATA[<bean id="simpleTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SimpleTriggerBean">
<!-- see the example of method invoking job above -->
<property name="jobDetail" ref="jobDetail" />
<!-- 10 seconds -->
<property name="startDelay" value="10000" />
<!-- repeat every 50 seconds -->
<property name="repeatInterval" value="50000" />
</bean>
<bean id="cronTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
<property name="jobDetail" ref="exampleJob" />
<!-- run every morning at 6 AM -->
<property name="cronExpression" value="0 0 6 * * ?" />
</bean>]]></programlisting>
<para>Now we've set up two triggers, one running every 50 seconds with a starting delay of
10 seconds and one every morning at 6 AM. To finalize everything, we need to set up the
<classname>SchedulerFactoryBean</classname>:</para>
<programlisting language="xml"><![CDATA[<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
<property name="triggers">
<list>
<ref bean="cronTrigger" />
<ref bean="simpleTrigger" />
</list>
</property>
</bean>]]></programlisting>
<para>
More properties are available for the <classname>SchedulerFactoryBean</classname> for you
to set, such as the calendars used by the job details, properties to customize Quartz with,
etc. Have a look at the
<ulink url="http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/api/org/springframework/scheduling/quartz/SchedulerFactoryBean.html">SchedulerFactoryBean Javadoc</ulink>
for more information.
