Anyway to use a Request scoped bean inside of a quartz job?

[benze]

Hi,

I've got a request scoped bean that I would like to use inside of a quartz job. I realize that I would not have access to the request objects, which is fine. To run Junit tests on my beans, I already declare custom scopes using:

    <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomScopeConfigurer">
        <property name="scopes">
            <map>
                <entry key="request">
                    <bean class="org.springframework.context.support.SimpleThreadScope" />
                </entry>
            </map>
        </property>
    </bean>

Is there anyway I can inject a similar scope configurer into a bean used as a quartz job? My Job is currently defined as:

	<bean id="fwl.service.TrendLeaderArticleService.trigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
	 	<property name="cronExpression" value="0/30 * * * * ? *" />
		<property name="jobDetail">
			<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
				<property name="name" value="fwl.service.TrendLeaderArticleService" />
				<property name="group" value="news" />
				<property name="targetObject" ref="trendLeaderArticleServiceImpl"/>
				<property name="targetMethod" value="createTrendLeaderArticle"/>
				<property name="concurrent" value="false" />
			</bean>
		</property>
	</bean>

Thanks!

Quartz jobs are controlled separate threads, and knowing the dynamics of web applications and how threading is managed by the application server, I think the answer to your question is no, you can't.
