I am still having issues with this, but I am at least getting more data
collected so hopefully someone can enlighten me as to my errors:

When I use the example1.bat file, the Quartz example works fine.
Now, when I use the quartz, jgl-quartz lib or the jgl-struts plugin I get
the NPE.

Here is the DIR layout of my entire EAR file:

EAR:

commons-dbcp.jar
commons-discovery.jar
commons-httpclient.jar
commons-logging.jar
commons-logging-api.jar

I am in a serious pickle here, as I have to get this running by Wednesday. I
am very sorry to be sending this again, but I have busted my head against a
wall on this all last week, and the weekend with no success.
You help is very much appreciated.

Here are the pertinant pieces:

I have an EAR, with a common.jar, ejb.jar and app.WAR inside
all the quartz, and jgs jars _all_ live in my WAR.

struts-config.xml:

<plug-in className="com.jgsullivan.struts.plugins.QuartzPlugIn" >
<set-property property="configPath"
value="/WEB-INF/quartz-config.xml" />
</plug-in>


WEB-INF/classes/quartz.properties:

org.quartz.threadPool.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 5
org.quartz.threadPool.threadPriority = 4
org.quartz.jobStore.misfireThreshold = 5000
org.quartz.jobStore.class = org.quartz.simpl.RAMJobStore


WEB-INF/quartz-config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<quartz-config>
<!-- Create a Trigger -->
<trigger-group name="alertSenderTriggerGroup">

<set-property property="repeatCount" value="25"/>
<set-property property="repeatInterval" value="5000"/>

</trigger-group>


<!-- Create a Job -->
<job-group name="alertSenderJobGroup">
<!--
-->


</job-group>

<!-- Schedule the Job/Trigger -->




</quartz-config>


WEB-INF/classes/com.baselogic.yoursos.scheduler.jobs.AlertSenderJob:

package com.baselogic.yoursos.scheduler.jobs;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionException;
import org.quartz.Job;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;


/**
* Class AlertSenderJob
*
* @author Mick Knutson
*/
public class AlertSenderJob implements Job
{
/** The Log instance for this application. */
private Log log = LogFactory.getLog( getClass().getName() );

/**
* Constructor AlertSenderJob
*
*
*/
public AlertSenderJob()
{
log.info( "initialize AlertSenderJob" );
}

/**
* Method execute
*
* @param jobExecCtx
* @throws org.quartz.JobExecutionException
*/
public void execute( JobExecutionContext jobExecCtx )
throws org.quartz.JobExecutionException
{
log.info( "Executing AlertSenderJob. This is the only operation this
job performs." );
}

}

I tried to move all the libs into that DIR, but that did not help. I still get the NPE.
This is very strange, as there are others on the Struts group using this and not having an issue.

The only difference I seem to be having, is the Ear/WAR/JAr packaging.
