Problems with Quartz and the Startup

[torhector2]

Hy, I'm trying to create a schedule task with Quartz in the startup and it's impossible! I follow other topics, books, Seam documentation and it doesn't work.

I add the code:

package org.domain.meteo.controllers;

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Observer;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Startup;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.async.Asynchronous;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.async.Expiration;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.async.FinalExpiration;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.async.IntervalDuration;
import org.jboss.seam.async.QuartzTriggerHandle;

@Name("iniciador")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Startup(depends={"quartzDispatcher"})
public class Iniciador {


        @Observer("org.jboss.seam.postInitialization")
        public void realizarMedidasProgramadas() { 
         
          System.out.println("Enter" );
          
          
          Calendar iCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        iCalendar.set(2009, Calendar.AUGUST, 13, 18, 26 );
          
        Calendar fCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        fCalendar.set(2009, Calendar.AUGUST, 13, 18, 30 );
          
        

     QuartzTriggerHandle handle = medidasProgramadas(iCalendar.getTime(), 1000l, fCalendar.getTime());
    
     }
     
     @Asynchronous
     public QuartzTriggerHandle medidasProgramadas(@Expiration Date cuando, @IntervalDuration Long intervalo, @FinalExpiration Date fechaFinal ){               
     
               
               System.out.println("TASK" );
               

          return null;
     }
     
     
}

Thanks

Maybe you should return a QuartzTriggerHandle instead of null in your medidasProgramadas function.

like this:

QuartzTriggerHandle handle = new QuartzTriggerHandle("MedidasProgramadas");
return handle;

Thanks but it doesn't work...

In the book Seam Framework: Experience the Evolution of Java EE (2nd Edition) (JBoss Series) says:

Notice that the method declares that it returns a QuartzTriggerHandle object, but we
do not construct that object in the method. We merely return a null value. Seam intercepts
the method and returns an appropriate QuartzTriggerHandle automatically to
its caller.

[torhector2]

The methos is executed once at the Startup (not in the date and hour that I want) but it doesn't repeat the call... I don't know what is happening.

Although I don't have the book you are quoting from, I have had success with Quartz. Here are two classes that work well together. Maybe using this pattern will help.

the observer

@Name("quartzObserver")
public class SCSQuartzObserver {
     
     @In(create=true) SCSQuartzTask quartzTask;
     
     @SuppressWarnings("unused")
     @Observer("org.jboss.seam.postInitialization")
     public void observe()
     {
     try
     {
          Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance ();
          cal.set (2040, Calendar.MAY, 10);
          QuartzTriggerHandle handle = quartzTask.performTask(new Date(), 86400000l, cal.getTime());
     }
     catch(Exception e)
     {
          e.printStackTrace();
     
          }
     }
}


and the task


@Name("quartzTask")
@AutoCreate
public class SCSQuartzTask {
     
     @Asynchronous
     public QuartzTriggerHandle performTask(@Expiration java.util.Date when,
     @IntervalDuration long duration,
     @FinalExpiration java.util.Date endDate)
     {
     //do stuff
     QuartzTriggerHandle handle = new QuartzTriggerHandle("SCSQuartzTask");
     return handle;
     }
}

I can't belive it!! You save me!! Youhoooooo ;)

Thanks it works perfectly.

if u need both to do this in the same class u should do the following:

...

Iniciador obj = (Iniciador) Component.getInstance("iniciador", ScopeType.EVENT);

 QuartzTriggerHandle handle = obj.medidasProgramadas(iCalendar.getTime(), 1000l, fCalendar.getTime());

...

Seam in action book by Dan Allen explains why u should do this in chapter 6 section 6.4.1.

in short, internal method calls within the same class do not trigger bijection :), thus u could not have ur asynchronous function.

Quartz/Mail/Async is working for me in seam 2.1.2.GA without problem, just, no workaround was necessary
