Hello All,
I am using seam for a while now. i have ran into problems in the past but was able to figure out myself with the help of past discussions. I ran into this quartz problem that i am kind of stumped with right now. I have tested this on Jboss and it works great no problem at all. but on glassfish it does not work. below is the code snippet
Here is my enviornment:
Seam 2.0.2SP1
GlassFish V2 ur2

configured quartz on components.xml

Few notes Renderer.instance().render("template") causes problem with icefaces. I found a work around for that. So on glassfish the scheduleAlertMailer method is called once the server starts up. But never runs again. But on jboss that method runs every one minute.
My understanding is <async:quartz-dispatcher/> is not registering the quartz sheduler properly on Glassfish. Also i have another context on glassfish server that has quartz configured with a jndi lookup with plain EJB3. I disabled quartz on the context to make sure there was no conflict. no luck. Need some help here. specifically how to register quartz on glassfish with <async:quartz-dispatcher/> or other options to configure quartz
Thanks in advance
