Integrating Quartz Scheduler with Java Web Application

 

 
In our previous article we learn about Quartz 2 hello world example along with types of Triggers in Quartz 2, In this article we shall learn to Integrating Quartz 2 Scheduler in Java Web Application. Quartz, is an open source job scheduling framework, that let you schedule a task to run on a predefine date and time.
 

Library required

 
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar
quartz-2.2.1.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.6.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.6.jar
 

Scheduler Job

 
Create a Quartz’s job

package com.quartz;

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

public class QuartzJob implements Job {
	public void execute(JobExecutionContext context)
			throws JobExecutionException {
		System.out.println("Java web application + Quartz 2.2.1");
	}
}

Servlet Listener

 
Now Create servlet listener class by implementing ServletContextListener interface and override contextInitialized and contextDestroyed methods with your logic’s.

package com.quartz;

import static org.quartz.JobBuilder.newJob;
import static org.quartz.TriggerBuilder.newTrigger;

import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;

import org.quartz.CronScheduleBuilder;
import org.quartz.JobDetail;
import org.quartz.Scheduler;
import org.quartz.SchedulerException;
import org.quartz.Trigger;
import org.quartz.impl.StdSchedulerFactory;

public class QuartzListener implements ServletContextListener {
	Scheduler scheduler = null;

	@Override
	public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent servletContext) {
		System.out.println("Context Initialized");
		
		try {
			// Setup the Job class and the Job group
			JobDetail job = newJob(QuartzJob.class).withIdentity(
					"CronQuartzJob", "Group").build();

			// Create a Trigger that fires every 5 minutes.
			Trigger trigger = newTrigger()
			.withIdentity("TriggerName", "Group")
			.withSchedule(CronScheduleBuilder.cronSchedule("0/5 * * * * ?"))
			.build();

			// Setup the Job and Trigger with Scheduler & schedule jobs
			scheduler = new StdSchedulerFactory().getScheduler();
			scheduler.start();
			scheduler.scheduleJob(job, trigger);
		}
		catch (SchedulerException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

	@Override
	public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent servletContext) {
		System.out.println("Context Destroyed");
		try
		{
			scheduler.shutdown();
		}
		catch (SchedulerException e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

Configure the listener class QuartzSchedulerListener.java into the web.xml file as shown below

Demo

 
Now on starting the Tomcat Server, the project gets started, and so the registered listener class QuartzSchedulerListener.java will be fired, and following output is obtained at the console
