Unmanaged Threads Spring Quartz Websphere Hibernate

Question

It appears that our implementation of using Quartz - JDBCJobStore along with Spring, Hibernate and Websphere is throwing unmanaged threads.

I have done some readin

Answer 1

Check this article: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0609_alcott/0609_alcott.html

basically, set the taskExecutor property on SchedulerFactoryBean to use a org.springframework.scheduling.commonj.WorkManager TaskExecutor which will use container managed threads.

Answer 2

The proposal from PaoloC for WAS85 ans Quartz 1.8.6 also works on WAS80 (and Quartz 1.8.6) and does not need Spring. (In my setup Spring 2.5.5 is present, but not in use in that context.)

That way I was able to override SimpleJobFactory by my own variant, using an InjectionHelper to apply CDI on every newly created job. Injection works for both @EJB (with JNDI lookup of the annotated EJB remote business interface) and @Inject (with JNDI lookup of the CDI BeanManager using a new InitialContext first, and then using this newly fetched BM to lookup the CDI bean itself).

Thank you PaoloC for that answer! (I hope this text will appear as an "answer to PaoloC" and not as an answer to the main topic. Found no way to differentiate between these.)
