Scheduling

[newbie_24]

I would like to know how to set the cron expression with respect to GMT time.

For eg. I have @Scheduled(cron = '0 0 0 * * *').should I add the time difference to the cron expression


Thanks

That will use the default TimeZone (internally it calls TimeZone.getDefault()). Is that not GMT in your case?

Well, if you are interested in the adjustment to current/default timezone then you don't need to do anything since CronTrigger will always use a Default TimeZone if one is not provided.
However if not you'd need to specify it.

We probably need to expose TimeZone attribute somehow, but for now all you need to do is specify a reference to CronTrigger instance. For example:

<bean id="cronTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.suppor.CronTrigger">
    <constructor-arg value="your cron expression"/>
    <constructor-arg ref="ref to a TimeZone bean">
</bean>

Yes Mark, its not GMT in my case, it is PST.

Should a timezone bean class needs to be defined and how can cron trigger be specified in the scheduled annotation.

Following cron expression will let you run at 12:00AM:-


<property name="cronExpression" value="0 0 12 * * ?" />
