Cron job in spring boot not running

Question

I created a cron job to run every day at 3:30pm , but it is not working.

Note: Already used: @EnableScheduling on the main class.

@Scheduled(cron = "0 30 15 * * *")
public void sendNotificaions() {
// METHOD IMPLEMENTATION        
}

I did the above code but it is not working.

Please suggest a solution. Thanks in advance.

Spring Scheduling

Allow you to execute tasks for the specific time period

Create your Component

package com.jb.cron.jobs;

import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.Scheduled;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

/**
 * Created by kobis on 24 Dec, 2022
 */
@Component
public class MyJob {

    @Scheduled(cron = "0 40 14 * * *") // Every day at 14:40:00
    public void yalla(){
        System.out.println("Woho");
    }
}

Don't forget to activate proxy to enable Spring Scheduling

you should annotate your main file or other configuration file with @EnableScheduling

package com.jb.cron;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableScheduling;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableScheduling
public class CronApplication {

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

}
