Trouble getting quartz to work

[ltmon]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Spring and Quartz working, specifically to create triggers programmatically in response to events in my application.

A simple test with a manually created Quartz scheduler and programmatically created JobDetails and Triggers works fine.

Another simple test with a Spring created scheduler, with JobDetails and Triggers also defined in the application context (ala Spring reference) also works just fine.

However, using a Spring created scheduler with a programmatically created Trigger and JobDetail does not work. After trying for the last day to get this working, I'm beat. Any ideas of what I've got wrong are much appreciated:

Thanks,

L.

(Sorry about some mangled code etc., trying to evade the forum thinking I'm posting URLs).

Using Spring 2-5-5 and Quartz 1-6-1.

applicationContext.xml

<bean id="scheduler" class="org-springframework-scheduling-quartz-SchedulerFactoryBean">   
</bean>

Note: I have a dataSource and transactionManager defined elsewhere, I've tried setting these manually. Also tried just about all available properties, as well as using a RAM job store.

MyTest.java

private Scheduler scheduler;

<snip>

JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail("dumbJob", null, DumbJob.class);
        
Trigger t = TriggerUtils.makeSecondlyTrigger("dumbTrigger");
        
System-out-println("Scheduling dumb job...");

scheduler.scheduleJob(jobDetail, t);
        
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
    Thread.sleep(1000);
}

Using a scheduler created according to the Quartz tutorial instead of the autowired one works fine. "DumbJob" just logs a single line each run, which appear in the output when using either a manually configured scheduler or a Spring configured JobDetail and Trigger.

Output in next post.

With some more logging, I've found the test method is throwing an exception somewhere, somehow:

    [junit] 2008-11-20 13:59:42,850 DEBUG - SpringMethodRoadie.runTestMethod(256) | Test method [public void com.test.DumbJobTest.testDumbJob()] threw exception: null

However trying to catch this exception leads to no results, which is confusing me. Is the exception being thrown in another thread? Is there any way to find the stack trace of this exception?

Edit: After reading the source for SpringMethodRoadie, I'm pretty sure this line isn't a problem. It just logs this all the time, whether an exception is thrown or not.

Took me a while, but I've worked it out.

Simply the fact that the way my test cases were set up, there was no transaction around the scheduling. Spring managed Schedulers require a transaction, whereas the manually created Scheduler does not.

I'm late to this party, but trying to do the same thing.

Wondering if you could share an example of surrounding your scheduler with a transaction, and perhaps the necessary confguration.

Thanks
