Quartz -Setting the timezone in the CronTriggerBean

[jkookie]

Hi, the following is the bean definition for a trigger i'm using -
<bean id="cronMaintenanceTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronT riggerBean">
<property name="jobDetail">
<ref bean="maintenanceJob"/>
</property>
<property name="cronExpression">
<value>0 0 18 ? * MON-FRI</value>
</property>
<!--
<property name="timeZone">
<value>EST</value>
</property>
-->
</bean>

How do i set the timeZone in the CronTriggerBean?
The setTimeZone() method uses a java.util.timeZone object as it's parameter, and hence I can't pass a string.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

You can create a reference to a TimeZone object using the following snippet:

<bean id="timeZone" class="java.util.TimeZone" factory-method="getTimeZone">
<constructor-arg>America/Los_Angeles</constructor-arg>
</bean>

You can then inject this bean into the timeZone property.

I want to set the Cron expression in GMT timezone.

I have gone through the link:
http://forum.springframework.org/sho...uartz+timezone

I have done this setting, but getting the error:
The content of element type "constructor-arg" must match
"(description?,(bean|ref|idref|value|null|list|set |map|props)?)".

<bean id="timeZone" class="java.util.TimeZone" factory-method="getTimeZone">
   <constructor-arg>America/Los_Angeles</constructor-arg>
</bean>

<bean id="MyTRIGGER" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
	<property name="jobDetail" ref="MyJOB" />
       <!--<property name="timeZone">
	//how to inject that bean into the timeZone property.
             	<value>America/Los_Angeles</value>
	</property>
       -->
	<property name="cronExpression"><value>${MyExpressionFromProperty}</value></property>
</bean>

Do I need to do any extra setting to let know the cronExpression that it needs to run in that GMT in our 'Spring Job' which extends 'QuartzJobBean'.

Does it simply need to read.......
<constructor-arg value="America/Los_Angeles"/>
