      I recently added the following JBeret extension modules to support batch job scheduling:

      • jberet-schedule / jberet-schedule-executor
        • base module for JBeret scheduling capability
        • provides a ScheduledExecutorService-based job scheduler impl
        • supports batch job scheduling in Java SE environment, using java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService
        • supports batch job scheduling in Java EE, JBoss EAP & WildFly environment, using Java EE Concurrency Utils and javax.enterprise.concurrent.ManagedScheduledExecutorService
        • supports single-action and repeatable job schedules
      • jberet-schedule / jberet-schedule-timer
        • extends jberet-schedule-executor module with a EJB-Timer-based job scheduler impl
        • supports batch job scheduling in Java EE, JBoss EAP & WildFly environment, using EJB TimerService (persistent), or EJB Lite TimerService (non-persistent)
        • supports single-action, repeatable, and calendar-based job schedules
        • distributable, and supports schedule recovery and server restart

       

      jberet-ui has been updated to include scheduling requirements.  More details including screenshots are in JBERET-225 (Add Job Scheduling to jberet-ui), and jberet-ui screenshot images

       

      jberet-rest-api has been updated to include scheduling-related REST API.  More details are in JBERET-224 (Add Job Scheduling API to jberet-rest-api)

       

      More impl details can be found in JBERET-222 (Support Batch Job Scheduling)

       

      2 sample webapps were added to demonstrate this new feature:

       

      In addition, jberet-schedule-executor tests shows how to use job scheduling in Java SE environment.

       

      Besides the above 3 built-in types of JobScheduler, one can also implement and specify your own job scheduler.

       

      A comparison of job schedulers based on Java SE ScheduledExecutorService, Java EE Concurreny Utils ManagedScheduledExecutorService, and EJB Timer:

      Managed Scheduled Executor Service

      EJB Timer

      At most once

      At least once

       

      * ManagedScheduledExecutorService-based scheduler supports calendar-based single-action schedule, but does not support calendar-based repeatable schedule.

       

      We hope this can be useful in your batch application development, and feedback, bug reports and other contributions are always welcome.
