Java Example: Dynamic Job Scheduling with Quartz

Question

I want to expose an user interface to define Quartz JOBs dynamically. Where user should have facility to define JOBs properties like JOB name, cron expression or time interv

Answer 1

Example code for Dynamic Quartz JOB Scheduling:

Maven Dependencies

         
            org.quartz-scheduler
            quartz
            1.8.5
         
            
            org.springframework
            spring-core
            ${spring.version}
        
        
            org.springframework
            spring-beans
            ${spring.version}
        
        
            org.springframework
            spring-context
            ${spring.version}
        
        
            org.springframework
            spring-context-support
            ${spring.version}
        

Application Context File (dynamic-jobs.xml)

Java Class for Task

package com.xxx.example.dynamicjob;

    public class MyTask
    {
        public void performAction() {
            System.out.println("Hey, you reached me...:)");
        }          
    }

Java Class to Create Dynamic Job

package com.xxx.example.dynamicjob;
import org.quartz.JobDetail;
import org.quartz.Scheduler;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
import org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean;
import org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean;

public class DynamicJobExample {

    /**
    * @param args
    */
    public static void main(String[] args) {

                ClassPathResource res = new ClassPathResource("dynamic-jobs.xml");
                XmlBeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(res);

                //get the quartzFactory bean
                Scheduler scheduler = (Scheduler) factory.getBean("scheduler");

                //get the task bean
                MyTask myTask = (MyTask) factory.getBean("myTask");

                try {
                // create JOB
                MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean jobDetail = new MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean();
                jobDetail.setTargetObject(myTask);
                jobDetail.setTargetMethod("performAction");
                jobDetail.setName("MyJobDetail");
                jobDetail.setConcurrent(false);
                jobDetail.afterPropertiesSet();

                /* SimpleTriggerBean trigger = new SimpleTriggerBean();
                trigger.setBeanName("MyTrigger");
                trigger.setJobDetail((JobDetail) jobDetail.getObject());
                trigger.setRepeatInterval(5000);
                trigger.afterPropertiesSet();
                */

                // create CRON Trigger
                CronTriggerBean cronTrigger = new CronTriggerBean();
                cronTrigger.setBeanName("CRON0001");

                // Execute after each 5 second
                String expression = "5 * * * * ?";
                cronTrigger.setCronExpression(expression);
                cronTrigger.afterPropertiesSet();

                //scheduler.scheduleJob(jobDetail, cronTrigger);

                scheduler.scheduleJob((JobDetail) jobDetail.getObject(), cronTrigger);

                // Start Scheduler        
                scheduler.start();

                } catch (Exception e) {                      
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } 
    }
