How do I schedule a method in a spring MVC controller?

Question

I have defined various scheduler in my configuration file as follows:

<task:executor id="xxxxxExecutor" pool-size="${async.executor.pool.size}"/>

<task:scheduler id="xxxxwwwScheduler" pool-size="1" />

<task:scheduler id="qqqqSchedular" pool-size="1" />

<task:scheduler id="lastScheduler" pool-size="1" />

My controller has been annotated via @Controller annotation. How do I specify a particular Scheduler in @Scheduled annotation in Spring?

ps I am trying to schedule a method in a controller using @Scheduled annotation.

Answer 1

Using multiple schedulers and pointing to them via the @Scheduled annotation is unfortunately not possible .

However, if you really do need that flexibility, you can define the jobs in XML:

<task:scheduled-tasks scheduler="myScheduler">
    <task:scheduled ref="beanA" method="methodA" fixed-delay="5000"/>
</task:scheduled-tasks>

That allows you to specify the exact id of the scheduler you need to use, and then simply reference the actual task.

Hope this helps.
