Spring exception while using quartz in web app

[nath]

Hi,

While loading the scheduler through the web app, application is throwing the below error.
2007-05-29 19:41:16,567 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] - Context initialization failed

Your definition is wrong. You have specified a targetObject with a value whereas it should be a ref or instead of a targetObject specify a targetClass.

<bean id="jobDetail1" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
  <property name="targetObject" value="com.elift.component.scheduler.job.JobActiveAssociateMail" />
  <property name="targetMethod" value="run" />
</bean>

Thanks for the reply
i changed it to ref but still the error persists

applicationcontext.xml looks like this

<bean id="javaJob" class="com.elift.component.scheduler.job.JobActiveAssociateMail"/>
	
<bean id="jobDetail1" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
  <property name="targetObject"  ref="javaJob"/>
  <property name="targetMethod" value="run" />
</bean>

Make sure that your configuration is being deployed and loaded correctly. Your configuration looks fine for as far as I can see.

[nath]

I am using tomcat to configure the scheduler.
Apart from changing the web.xml file i think there is no extra configuration to run an application.

My Jsp/HTML pages are coming up if i comment out the Context listener in the web.xml.

And i am able to run the quartz on the standalone

[karldmoore]

That seems like quite a strange error. Is it possible to see the rest of the quartz related configuration you are using?

[nath]

I believe that spring provides the quartz configuration in the xml itself.
So i didn't do any extra settings.
I configured in applicationcontext.xml only.
applicationcontext.xml looks like this

<bean name="scheduler" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
	<property name="jobDetail" ref="cronProperties" />
	</bean>



	<bean id="cronProperties" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
		<property name="jobDetail" ref="jobDetail1"/>
		<property name="cronExpression" value="0/5 * * * * ?"/>
	</bean>
<bean id="javaJob" class="com.elift.component.scheduler.job.JobActiveAssociateMail"/>
	
<bean id="jobDetail1" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
  <property name="targetObject"  ref="javaJob"/>
  <property name="targetMethod" value="run" />
</bean>

let me know if i missed anything in the configuration

[karldmoore]

I'm not too sure about the SchedulerFactoryBean configuration, I think it should look like this.

<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
    <property name="triggers">
        <list>
            <ref bean="cronProperties" />
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

I've just noticed that you talk about configuring Quartz through tomcat? Don't you just want to configure Quartz via the SchedulerFactoryBean?
http://www.springframework.org/docs/...ctoryBean.html

[nath]

As you said i added the list tag to the properties
and my applicationcontext looks like this. Different exception generated

	<bean name="scheduler" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
	<property name="jobDetail"  />
		<property name="triggers">
			<list>
				<ref bean="cronProperties"/>
			</list>
		</property> 
	</bean>
 
	<!-- Trigger for the job defined above -->
	<!-- Registered by the 'scheduler' bean -->
	<bean id="cronProperties" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
		<property name="jobDetail" ref="jobMethod"/>
		<property name="cronExpression" value="0/5 * * * * ?"/>
	</bean>
<bean id="javaJob" class="com.elift.component.scheduler.job.JobActiveAssociateMail"/>
	
<bean id="jobMethod" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
  <property name="targetObject"  ref="javaJob"/>
  <property name="targetMethod" value="run" />
</bean>

You've not copied the example exactly though.

	<bean name="scheduler" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
	<property name="jobDetail"  />
		<property name="triggers">
			<list>
				<ref bean="cronProperties"/>
			</list>
		</property> 
	</bean>

	<bean name="scheduler" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
		<property name="triggers">

			</list>
		</property>
