Quartz integration with JBoss 7

[irbash]

Hi,

I am trying to migrate our application from jboss 5.1 to jboss 7.1. We use Quartz schedular in jboss 5.1, but unfortunately jboss 7.1 doesn't support quartz.

I read several discussions in this community forum, but was still not able to integrate quartz with jboss as 7.1.

Would be glad if someone can let me know how to proceed.

I have done the following, please correct me if I am wrong:

1. Created a module for quartz:

     a. Created a folder structure JBoss 7\modules\org\quartz\main

      b. Added module.xml and quartz-all-2.0.2.jar

     c. Content of module.xml is:          

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.quartz">
  <resources>
    <resource-root path="quartz-all-2.0.2.jar"/>
        <!-- Insert resources here -->
  </resources>
  <dependencies>
          <module name="org.slf4j"/>
                      <module name="javax.api"/>
  </dependencies>
</module>

2. Created a sample application with one QuartzJob:     

package com.sample; 

import javax.ejb.MessageDriven; 
import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.ResourceAdapter;
import org.quartz.Job;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionException; 
import javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty; 

@MessageDriven(activationConfig =
{@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "cronTrigger", propertyValue = "0 0/1 * * * ?")})
@ResourceAdapter("quartz-all-2.0.2.jar")


public class QuartzMDB implements Job
{ 
  public void execute(JobExecutionContext jobExecutionContext) throws JobExecutionException
  {
      System.out.println("Quartz job executed!");
  } 
}

3. Deployed the above program as jar in Standalone\deployment

4. When I start the jboss server I get the following error: (I start the server with server-config=standalone-full.xml)

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.quartz.Job from [Module "deployment.QuartzMDB.jar:main" from Service Module Loader]

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

You will find the solution to your ClassnotFoundExceptions in Class Loading in AS7.

I suspect that you will encounter other issues however.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the reply.

What other issues do you think i'll encounter ?

Is there any alternative for using Quartz ? (Can I use Timemachine or TimeService)

Thanks,

Irfan

[sfcoy]

The obvious alternative is JEE6 EJB timers. These will work even if implemented in a web application.

You may find that you need to deploy the quartz jar with your application (rather than in a JBoss module) in order for the @ResourceAdapter annotation to function correctly.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks again for the reply.

I am trying to deploy the quartz jar with my sample application. But I am not sure how to do it.

Could you kindly tell me how can I do that.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I got it working. I did the following:

1. Created a module for quartz:

     a. Created a folder structure JBoss 7\modules\org\quartz\main

      b. Added module.xml and quartz-all-2.0.2.jar

     c. Content of module.xml is same as above.

2. Created a class "SchedulerBean" as below:

@Startup

@Singleton

public class SchedulerBean {

  @PostConstruct

  void init() {

    try {

      Scheduler sched = new StdSchedulerFactory().getScheduler();

JobDetail testjob = JobBuilder.newJob(TestJob.class)

  .withIdentity("testjob", "testgroup")

  .build();

SimpleTrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.newTrigger()

  .withIdentity("testtrigger", "testgroup")

  .withSchedule(SimpleScheduleBuilder.simpleSchedule()

     .withIntervalInSeconds(10)

     .repeatForever())

  .build();

sched.scheduleJob(testjob, trigger);

      sched.start();

    }

    catch (Throwable t) {

      // log exception

    }

  }

}

3.  The Test Job  implements Quartz Job:

public class TestJob implements Job {

  @Override

  public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException {

    System.out.println("Quartz test job executed!");

  }

}

4. Finally run the standalone.bat with standalone-full.xml as server config.

(I followed this link: http://entjavastuff.blogspot.de/2012/01/jboss-7-missing-scheduling-and-jmx.html)

Now as soon as I deploy the jar in jboss as7, the job also starts. I still have to test if other functions of Quartz are working as it should.
