startScheduler in SchedulerFactoryBean, usage?

[cf101]

I am looking for a way to start and stop the factory bean scheduler. I set autoStart to false so I can say when to go, and when to stop. The only issue I have hit, is how? I know I must be missing something. Does anyone have an example of this?

Thanks!

After a lot of reading I found out my issue

Due to the design of the QuartzBean I can not do waht I want to.

That said, the QuartzBean really does not get you anything if you WANT to use the scheduler directly. So I just added the StdSchedulerFactory to spring with the <prop> options. And it works now.

Hi

I was trying for scheduling a job.
I have done the following...

<bean name="testJob" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDe tailBean">
<property name="jobClass" value="test.TestJob" />
<property name="jobDataAsMap">
<map>
<entry key="timeout" value="5" />
</map>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="cronTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronT riggerBean">
<property name="jobDetail" ref="testJob" />
<!-- run every morning at 6 AM -->
<property name="cronExpression" value="0 0 6 * * ?" />
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.Sched ulerFactoryBean">
<property name="triggers">
<list>
<ref bean="cronTrigger" />
</list>
</property>
</bean>

package test;

public class TestJob 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 {
System.out.println(new Date());
}
}


But my job is not starting........ can anyone help on this?
even i changed this according to my system time...(This following shows everyday 6am)
<property name="cronExpression" value="0 0 6 * * ?" />

Thanks and advance...

As you say, the job will start every day at 6. But it will end at 6:59 (according to the cron expression).

Is this how you started your service the first time? And did you change this start time later? Do you store your job in a database?

If all questions are answered with yes, then add this property:
<property name="overwriteExistingJobs" value="true" />

Hope this helps.
