Class Overview

FactoryBean that creates and configures a Quartz org.quartz.Scheduler, manages its lifecycle as part of the Spring application context, and exposes the Scheduler as bean reference for dependency injection.

Allows registration of JobDetails, Calendars and Triggers, automatically starting the scheduler on initialization and shutting it down on destruction. In scenarios that just require static registration of jobs at startup, there is no need to access the Scheduler instance itself in application code.

For dynamic registration of jobs at runtime, use a bean reference to this SchedulerFactoryBean to get direct access to the Quartz Scheduler (org.quartz.Scheduler). This allows you to create new jobs and triggers, and also to control and monitor the entire Scheduler.

Note that Quartz instantiates a new Job for each execution, in contrast to Timer which uses a TimerTask instance that is shared between repeated executions. Just JobDetail descriptors are shared.

When using persistent jobs, it is strongly recommended to perform all operations on the Scheduler within Spring-managed (or plain JTA) transactions. Else, database locking will not properly work and might even break. (See setDataSource javadoc for details.)

The preferred way to achieve transactional execution is to demarcate declarative transactions at the business facade level, which will automatically apply to Scheduler operations performed within those scopes. Alternatively, you may add transactional advice for the Scheduler itself.

Note: This version of Spring's SchedulerFactoryBean requires Quartz 1.5.x or 1.6.x. The "jobSchedulingDataLocation" feature requires Quartz 1.6.1 or higher (as of Spring 2.5.5).

Public Constructors

public SchedulerFactoryBean ()

Public Methods

public void afterPropertiesSet ()

Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

Throws
Exception

public void destroy ()

Shut down the Quartz scheduler on bean factory shutdown, stopping all scheduled jobs.

Throws
SchedulerException

public static DataSource getConfigTimeDataSource ()

Return the DataSource for the currently configured Quartz Scheduler, to be used by LocalDataSourceJobStore.

This instance will be set before initialization of the corresponding Scheduler, and reset immediately afterwards. It is thus only available during configuration.

public static DataSource getConfigTimeNonTransactionalDataSource ()

Return the non-transactional DataSource for the currently configured Quartz Scheduler, to be used by LocalDataSourceJobStore.

This instance will be set before initialization of the corresponding Scheduler, and reset immediately afterwards. It is thus only available during configuration.

public static ResourceLoader getConfigTimeResourceLoader ()

Return the ResourceLoader for the currently configured Quartz Scheduler, to be used by ResourceLoaderClassLoadHelper.

This instance will be set before initialization of the corresponding Scheduler, and reset immediately afterwards. It is thus only available during configuration.

public static Executor getConfigTimeTaskExecutor ()

Return the TaskExecutor for the currently configured Quartz Scheduler, to be used by LocalTaskExecutorThreadPool.

This instance will be set before initialization of the corresponding Scheduler, and reset immediately afterwards. It is thus only available during configuration.

public Scheduler getObject ()

Return an instance (possibly shared or independent) of the object managed by this factory.

As with a BeanFactory, this allows support for both the Singleton and Prototype design pattern.

If this FactoryBean is not fully initialized yet at the time of the call (for example because it is involved in a circular reference), throw a corresponding FactoryBeanNotInitializedException.

As of Spring 2.0, FactoryBeans are allowed to return null objects. The factory will consider this as normal value to be used; it will not throw a FactoryBeanNotInitializedException in this case anymore. FactoryBean implementations are encouraged to throw FactoryBeanNotInitializedException themselves now, as appropriate.

Returns
  • an instance of the bean (can be null)

public Class<? extends Scheduler> getObjectType ()

Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known in advance.

This allows one to check for specific types of beans without instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.

In the case of implementations that are creating a singleton object, this method should try to avoid singleton creation as far as possible; it should rather estimate the type in advance. For prototypes, returning a meaningful type here is advisable too.

This method can be called before this FactoryBean has been fully initialized. It must not rely on state created during initialization; of course, it can still use such state if available.

NOTE: Autowiring will simply ignore FactoryBeans that return null here. Therefore it is highly recommended to implement this method properly, using the current state of the FactoryBean.

Returns
  • the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known at the time of the call

public int getPhase ()

Return the phase in which this scheduler will be started and stopped.

public Scheduler getScheduler ()

Template method that determines the Scheduler to operate on. To be implemented by subclasses.

public boolean isAutoStartup ()

Return whether this scheduler is configured for auto-startup. If "true", the scheduler will start after the context is refreshed and after the start delay, if any.

public boolean isRunning ()

Check whether this component is currently running.

In the case of a container, this will return true only if all components that apply are currently running.

Returns
  • whether the component is currently running

public boolean isSingleton ()

Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is, will getObject() always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)?

NOTE: If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object, the object returned from getObject() might get cached by the owning BeanFactory. Hence, do not return true unless the FactoryBean always exposes the same reference.

The singleton status of the FactoryBean itself will generally be provided by the owning BeanFactory; usually, it has to be defined as singleton there.

NOTE: This method returning false does not necessarily indicate that returned objects are independent instances. An implementation of the extended SmartFactoryBean interface may explicitly indicate independent instances through its isPrototype() method. Plain FactoryBean implementations which do not implement this extended interface are simply assumed to always return independent instances if the isSingleton() implementation returns false.

Returns
  • whether the exposed object is a singleton

public void setApplicationContext (ApplicationContext applicationContext)

Set the ApplicationContext that this object runs in. Normally this call will be used to initialize the object.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback such as afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method. Invoked after setResourceLoader(ResourceLoader), setApplicationEventPublisher(ApplicationEventPublisher) and MessageSourceAware, if applicable.

Parameters
applicationContext the ApplicationContext object to be used by this object

public void setApplicationContextSchedulerContextKey (String applicationContextSchedulerContextKey)

Set the key of an ApplicationContext reference to expose in the SchedulerContext, for example "applicationContext". Default is none. Only applicable when running in a Spring ApplicationContext.

Note: When using persistent Jobs whose JobDetail will be kept in the database, do not put an ApplicationContext reference into the JobDataMap but rather into the SchedulerContext.

In case of a QuartzJobBean, the reference will be applied to the Job instance as bean property. An "applicationContext" attribute will correspond to a "setApplicationContext" method in that scenario.

Note that BeanFactory callback interfaces like ApplicationContextAware are not automatically applied to Quartz Job instances, because Quartz itself is reponsible for the lifecycle of its Jobs.

public void setAutoStartup (boolean autoStartup)

Set whether to automatically start the scheduler after initialization.

Default is "true"; set this to "false" to allow for manual startup.

public void setBeanName (String name)

Set the name of the bean in the bean factory that created this bean.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback such as afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method.

Parameters
name the name of the bean in the factory. Note that this name is the actual bean name used in the factory, which may differ from the originally specified name: in particular for inner bean names, the actual bean name might have been made unique through appending "#..." suffixes. Use the BeanFactoryUtils#originalBeanName(String) method to extract the original bean name (without suffix), if desired.

public void setConfigLocation (Resource configLocation)

Set the location of the Quartz properties config file, for example as classpath resource "classpath:quartz.properties".

Note: Can be omitted when all necessary properties are specified locally via this bean, or when relying on Quartz' default configuration.

public void setDataSource (DataSource dataSource)

Set the default DataSource to be used by the Scheduler. If set, this will override corresponding settings in Quartz properties.

Note: If this is set, the Quartz settings should not define a job store "dataSource" to avoid meaningless double configuration.

A Spring-specific subclass of Quartz' JobStoreCMT will be used. It is therefore strongly recommended to perform all operations on the Scheduler within Spring-managed (or plain JTA) transactions. Else, database locking will not properly work and might even break (e.g. if trying to obtain a lock on Oracle without a transaction).

Supports both transactional and non-transactional DataSource access. With a non-XA DataSource and local Spring transactions, a single DataSource argument is sufficient. In case of an XA DataSource and global JTA transactions, SchedulerFactoryBean's "nonTransactionalDataSource" property should be set, passing in a non-XA DataSource that will not participate in global transactions.

public void setExposeSchedulerInRepository (boolean exposeSchedulerInRepository)

Set whether to expose the Spring-managed Scheduler instance in the Quartz SchedulerRepository. Default is "false", since the Spring-managed Scheduler is usually exclusively intended for access within the Spring context.

Switch this flag to "true" in order to expose the Scheduler globally. This is not recommended unless you have an existing Spring application that relies on this behavior. Note that such global exposure was the accidental default in earlier Spring versions; this has been fixed as of Spring 2.5.6.

public void setJobFactory (JobFactory jobFactory)

Set the Quartz JobFactory to use for this Scheduler.

Default is Spring's AdaptableJobFactory, which supports Runnable objects as well as standard Quartz org.quartz.Job instances. Note that this default only applies to a local Scheduler, not to a RemoteScheduler (where setting a custom JobFactory is not supported by Quartz).

Specify an instance of Spring's SpringBeanJobFactory here (typically as an inner bean definition) to automatically populate a job's bean properties from the specified job data map and scheduler context.

public void setNonTransactionalDataSource (DataSource nonTransactionalDataSource)

Set the DataSource to be used by the Scheduler for non-transactional access.

This is only necessary if the default DataSource is an XA DataSource that will always participate in transactions: A non-XA version of that DataSource should be specified as "nonTransactionalDataSource" in such a scenario.

This is not relevant with a local DataSource instance and Spring transactions. Specifying a single default DataSource as "dataSource" is sufficient there.

public void setPhase (int phase)

Specify the phase in which this scheduler should be started and stopped. The startup order proceeds from lowest to highest, and the shutdown order is the reverse of that. By default this value is Integer.MAX_VALUE meaning that this scheduler starts as late as possible and stops as soon as possible.

public void setQuartzProperties (Properties quartzProperties)

Set Quartz properties, like "org.quartz.threadPool.class".

Can be used to override values in a Quartz properties config file, or to specify all necessary properties locally.

public void setSchedulerContextAsMap (Map schedulerContextAsMap)

Register objects in the Scheduler context via a given Map. These objects will be available to any Job that runs in this Scheduler.

Note: When using persistent Jobs whose JobDetail will be kept in the database, do not put Spring-managed beans or an ApplicationContext reference into the JobDataMap but rather into the SchedulerContext.

Parameters
schedulerContextAsMap Map with String keys and any objects as values (for example Spring-managed beans)

public void setSchedulerFactoryClass (Class schedulerFactoryClass)

Set the Quartz SchedulerFactory implementation to use.

Default is StdSchedulerFactory, reading in the standard quartz.properties from quartz.jar. To use custom Quartz properties, specify the "configLocation" or "quartzProperties" bean property on this FactoryBean.

See Also

public void setSchedulerName (String schedulerName)

Set the name of the Scheduler to create via the SchedulerFactory.

If not specified, the bean name will be used as default scheduler name.

  • setBeanName(String)
  • org.quartz.SchedulerFactory#getScheduler()
  • org.quartz.SchedulerFactory#getScheduler(String)

public void setStartupDelay (int startupDelay)

Set the number of seconds to wait after initialization before starting the scheduler asynchronously. Default is 0, meaning immediate synchronous startup on initialization of this bean.

Setting this to 10 or 20 seconds makes sense if no jobs should be run before the entire application has started up.

public void setTaskExecutor (Executor taskExecutor)

Set the Spring TaskExecutor to use as Quartz backend. Exposed as thread pool through the Quartz SPI.

Can be used to assign a JDK 1.5 ThreadPoolExecutor or a CommonJ WorkManager as Quartz backend, to avoid Quartz's manual thread creation.

By default, a Quartz SimpleThreadPool will be used, configured through the corresponding Quartz properties.

public void setWaitForJobsToCompleteOnShutdown (boolean waitForJobsToCompleteOnShutdown)

Set whether to wait for running jobs to complete on shutdown.

Default is "false". Switch this to "true" if you prefer fully completed jobs at the expense of a longer shutdown phase.

See Also
  • org.quartz.Scheduler#shutdown(boolean)

public void start ()

Start this component. Should not throw an exception if the component is already running.

In the case of a container, this will propagate the start signal to all components that apply.

public void stop ()

Stop this component. Should not throw an exception if the component isn't started yet.

In the case of a container, this will propagate the stop signal to all components that apply.

public void stop (Runnable callback)

Indicates that a Lifecycle component must stop if it is currently running.

The provided callback is used by the LifecycleProcessor to support an ordered, and potentially concurrent, shutdown of all components having a common shutdown order value. The callback must be executed after the SmartLifecycle component does indeed stop.

Protected Methods

protected Scheduler createScheduler (SchedulerFactory schedulerFactory, String schedulerName)

The default implementation invokes SchedulerFactory's getScheduler method. Can be overridden for custom Scheduler creation.

Parameters
schedulerFactory the factory to create the Scheduler with
schedulerName the name of the scheduler to create
Returns
  • the Scheduler instance
Throws
if thrown by Quartz methods
SchedulerException
