Remove a task from a scheduler

[marcogerber]

Hello everybody

I have a ThreadPoolTaskScheduler which schedules a lot of tasks. At random time, I have to remove one of this task without destroying the whole scheduler. How do I do that? I can't find a way to call something like remove(myRunnable). Maybe I use a schedule in a way it isn't designed for.

Regards,
Marco

Hello everybody

Is there any spring scheduler implementation that supports my use case? Maybe any alternatives?

Thanks,

Hello everybody

For all of those who are interested in a working solution: If you use any of the schedule() methods, you can use the returned ScheduledFuture to manage the lifecycle of a task. It would be useful if there may be a section in the documentation [1] which explains this topic such as:
"The lifecycle of the scheduled tasks can be managed over the returned ScheduledFuture. F.ex. for cancelling and termination".
