Here is WebConfig.java:

@Configuration
@EnableScheduling
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages="com.project")
public class WebConfig implements SchedulingConfigurer 
{    
protected static final Logger slf4jLogger  = Logger.getLogger(WebConfig.class.getName());
private static final String cronExpression = "0 0 * * * ?";



/*@Bean
public MobileNotifSchedulerBean schedulerbean()
{
    return new MobileNotifSchedulerBean();
}*/

@Bean
public InternalResourceViewResolver getInternalResourceViewResolver()
{
    InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
    resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/jsp/");
    resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
    resolver.setSuffix(".html");
    resolver.setSuffix(".htm");
    return resolver;
}

@Bean
CronTrigger cronTrigger() 
{
    //String timeZone = "Asia/Calcutta";

    String timeZone = null;
    HashSet<String> userTimeZonesfromDB = FetchUserTimeZones.fetchUserTimeZone();
    for (String s : userTimeZonesfromDB) 
    {
        timeZone = s;
        slf4jLogger.info(s);
    }
    return new CronTrigger(cronExpression, TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZone));
}


@Override

{

    taskRegistrar.addCronTask(new CronTask(new MobileNotifSchedulerBean(), cronTrigger()));
}

@Bean(destroyMethod="shutdown")
public Executor taskExecutor() 
{
    return Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
}   
}

Here is my MobileNotifSchedulerBean:

@EnableScheduling
public class MobileNotifSchedulerBean implements Runnable 
{
protected static final Logger slf4jLogger  = Logger.getLogger(MobileNotifSchedulerBean.class.getName());


public void sendQuestionNotif() 
{
    try

        HashSet<String> reg_ids = FetchRegistrationIDs.fetchItems();
        for (String s : reg_ids) 
        {
            String REGISTRATION_IDs = s;
            slf4jLogger.info(s);                
            MobileSNSPushNotification.sendNotification(REGISTRATION_IDs);
        }
    } 
    catch (IOException e) 
    {
        //e.printStackTrace();
        slf4jLogger.error(e);
        slf4jLogger.error(e.getMessage());
        slf4jLogger.error(e.getStackTrace());
    }
}


@Override
public void run() 
{
    sendQuestionNotif();
}
}

I am using Java 8 and Spring MVC 4. I want to solve this error "No qualifying bean of type [org.springframework.scheduling.TaskScheduler] is defined" kindly help me. TIA.

Answer 1

This exception is logged from org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.ScheduledAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.inishRegistration() :

if (this.registrar.hasTasks() && this.registrar.getScheduler() == null) {
    Assert.state(this.beanFactory != null, "BeanFactory must be set to find scheduler by type");
    try {
        // Search for TaskScheduler bean...
        this.registrar.setTaskScheduler(this.beanFactory.getBean(TaskScheduler.class));
    }
    catch (NoSuchBeanDefinitionException ex) {
        logger.debug("Could not find default TaskScheduler bean", ex);
        // Search for ScheduledExecutorService bean next...
        try {
            this.registrar.setScheduler(this.beanFactory.getBean(ScheduledExecutorService.class));
        }
        catch (NoSuchBeanDefinitionException ex2) {
            logger.debug("Could not find default ScheduledExecutorService bean", ex);
            // Giving up -> falling back to default scheduler within the registrar...
        }
    }
}

This process attempts to set the task scheduler for the registrar. For this, it tries to find a registered scheduler bean through BeanFactory.getBean method:

1. Tries to find a configured TaskScheduler bean , if not found then fallbacks to->
2. finding ScheduledExecutorService bean , if not found then fallbacks to->
3. using the default scheduler within the registrar (The same is indicated in the code comment above: // Giving up -> falling back to default scheduler within the registrar... )

If any of the TaskScheduler or ScheduledExecutorService bean is not found in the container, BeanFactory.getBean throws an exception.

ScheduledAnnotationBeanPostProcessor in turn logs these exception with DEBUG level:

logger.debug("Could not find default TaskScheduler bean", ex);
logger.debug("Could not find default ScheduledExecutorService bean", ex);

So, in conclusion these exceptions are just logged in process of finding a fallback option for task scheduler bean, and they do not affect the execution of the application.

The log level of this class can be elevated so that these DEBUG level messages are not logged like so:

<!-- Elevate the log level for 'org.springframework.scheduling' since in
     process of registering the scheduled task, Spring's
     ScheduledAnnotationBeanPostProcessor tries to find TaskScheduler and
     ScheduledExecutorService beans and then fallbacks to its internal
     scheduler but in the process logs exceptions when it cannot find those
     beans registered.
-->
<logger name="org.springframework.scheduling">
    <level value="info" />
</logger>

Answer 2

Annote your MobileNotifSchedulerBean with @Configurable . I think it will work.
