How do I startup quartz scheduler manually with SchedulerFactoryBean?

[jimpo]

I configure quartz scheduler using Spring SchedulerFactoryBean like this:

    <bean
        class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
        <property name="triggers">
            <list>
                <ref bean="someTrigger" />
            </list>
        </property>
        <property name="jobFactory" ref="jobFactory" />
        <property name="schedulerContextAsMap">
            <map>
                <entry key="somService" value-ref="somService" />
            </map>
        </property>
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
        <property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager" />
        <property name="autoStartup" value="false" />
    </bean>

Note the autoStartup = false, I want to start up the scheduler manually by calling the Scheduler.

How do I get handle to the created scheduler? I want to inject into some other bean, where I trigger the scheduler to start.

SchedulerFactoryBean implements FactoryBean, and method public Object getObject() { return this.scheduler; }, so this is somehow related to the answer I guess.

When you inject your SchedulerFactoryBean into another bean, not schedule factory, but scheduler created by is injected.

Ah, ok. Thanks. Now I have

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

    <bean id="schedulerStarterBean" class="...">
       <property name="scheduler" ref="scheduler" />
    </bean>

and this works.
