Running a Spring Boot app with Quartz

Question

I have this Spring Boot app. using Quartz (a richly featured, open source job scheduling library that can be integrated within virtually any Java application ) to execute a Job the 10th day of the month

@EnableScheduling
@SpringBootApplication
public class IberiaUtilsApplication implements CommandLineRunner {

public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(IberiaUtilsApplication.class);
        app.run(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
    ..
}
}

and inside the config package:

@Configuration
public class JobConfig {

    @Bean
    public JobDetail sampleJobDetail() {
        return JobBuilder.newJob(MonthlyIberiaMetrics.class).withIdentity("iberiaJob")
                .usingJobData("iberiaMetrics", "fleet").storeDurably().build();
    }

    @Bean
    public Trigger sampleJobTrigger() {

        return newTrigger()
                .forJob(sampleJobDetail())
                .withIdentity("iberiaTrigger")
                .withSchedule(cronSchedule("0 0 10 10 * ?"))
                .build();               

    }
}

I run the app. from the command line, using mvn spring-boot:run but it seems that the Quartz is not initialised:

I also tried changing the expression to 0 * * * * ? (every minute) with the same result

and also created this other class with the same result:

public class ScheduledTasks1 {


    private static final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

    @Scheduled(cron = "0 * * * * ?")
    public void reportCurrentTime() {

        System.out.println("The time is now {}" +
                dateFormat.format(new Date()));

    }
}

for your information, I have another similar application without Quartz properties and its working fine:

@SpringBootApplication
public class IberiaReservationsApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(IberiaReservationsApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public JobDetail sampleJobDetail() {
        return JobBuilder.newJob(CheckDBJobExecution.class).withIdentity("sampleJob")
                .usingJobData("name", "World").storeDurably().build();
    }

    @Bean
    public Trigger sampleJobTrigger() {
            return newTrigger()
                .forJob(sampleJobDetail())
                .withIdentity("sampleTrigger")
                .withSchedule(cronSchedule("0 0/2 8-17 * * ?"))
                .build();               

    }
}

Answer 1

Have you considered using Springs own scheduler, it's easy to configure and I've always found it to work well. https://spring.io/guides/gs/scheduling-tasks/

Answer 2

You are missing various configuration for Quartz here like

1. Quartz properties
2. SchedulerFactoryBean

Follow below examples for complete implementation:

1. https://chynten.wordpress.com/2016/06/17/quartz-with-databse-and-spring-4/
2. http://www.baeldung.com/spring-quartz-schedule

Answer 3

You may give a try to https://github.com/mejariamol/quartz-easy . This library simplifies the quartz scheduler integration in spring boot framework. I came up with this while setting up quartz scheduler in one of the projects at work.

1. Annotate your Job implementation with Scheduled annotation with required configuration by setting suitable fields present in the annotation.

import com.indusnode.quartz.annotation.Scheduled;
...
@Scheduled(interval="5", intervalType=Scheduled.IntervalType.SEC)
class TestJob implements Job {
    //...
}

2. Set application property qe.base-package as your base package name of the project which will contain all your job implementations. Also, add com.indusnode as a value to basePackage in component scan.
3. And you are done! No need to define factories, JobDetail, Triggers...etc.

To use this library, include the quartz-easy artifact in the dependencies section of your pom.xml

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.indusnode</groupId>
  <artifactId>quartz-easy</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

For details, please refer https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.indusnode/quartz-easy/1.0.0/jar
