Cron syntax with Java EE 5?
- by marabol
Timer Tasks in Java EE are not very comfortable. Is there any util, to configure timer with cron syntax like "0 20 20 * * "?
I wonder, if it would be a good way to use Quartzinside (clustered) JEE application. According to http://www.prozesse-und-systeme.de/serverClustering.html (german page) there limits with Quartz and Java EE clustering:
JDBC must be used as job store for Quartz
Only cluster associated Quartz instances are allowed to use this JDBC job store
All cluster nodes must be synchronized to the split second
All cluster nodes must use the same quartz.properties file
I would prefer an easier way for configuration of timer service, instead an not Java EE managed scheduler.
