@Scheduled fixedRate PropertyPlaceholder support

[soks86]

Hi,

I've been using @Scheduled a lot (great stuff) but I noticed today that only the "cron" attribute of the annotation supports property placeholder configuration since the other two fields are long type.

I couldn't think of any non-ackward solutions to this but I'm trying to set up a @Scheduled with a fixedRate that is defined by a placeholder property. From the looks of it I will have to use the actual Task Scheduling classes to implement this.

Would it be reasonable to have a fixedRateString and fixedDelayString added to @Scheduled so that they could be processed and converted into long's by the container or is this a bad way to add features to an annotation?

Thanks.

Did you find out a solution ? I'm having the same issue.

Sorry, haven't got a solution. Should probably make a JIRA since this is a bit simple... I just haven't had to follow through with needing yet.

@Scheduled(cron = "${update.interval.cron.value}")
public void doSomething(){...}

<context:property-placeholder location="myConfig.properties"/>

this works for me.
