We will get a first taste of Quartz, by executing a very simple job. The following snippet of code shows how easy it is to schedule a job.
SchedulerFactory schedFact = new
org.quartz.impl.StdSchedulerFactory();
Scheduler sched = schedFact.getScheduler();
sched.start();
JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail("myJob", null, HelloJob.class);
Trigger trigger = TriggerUtils.makeHourlyTrigger();
// fire every hour
trigger.setStartTime(TriggerUtils.getEvenHourDate(new Date()));
// start on the next even hour
trigger.setName("myTrigger");
sched.scheduleJob(jobDetail, trigger);
The following code assumes a HelloJob class exists. It is a very simple class that implements the job interface and just prints a message to the console.
package packtpub.osw;
import org.quartz.Job;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionException;
/**
* Hello world job.
*/
public class HelloJob implements Job
{
public void execute(JobExecutionContext ctx) throws
JobExecutionException...
