SchedulerFactoryBean does not start

[karldmoore]

Isn't that the default?

Did this solve you problem in the end?

karldmoore,

Apologies for the delayed posting. I got distracted and drifted into few other tasks.

Yes, your suggestion worked. My code now looks like:

ApplicationContext factory = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ("config.xml" );
        
while (true) {
    System.out.println("Main thread going to sleep for a bit");
    Thread.sleep(1000 * 10);
    System.out.println("Is the job running?");
}

and it works as expected.

Thank you very much!
