Are there any other Java schedulers besides Quartz(FOSS) and Flux(Commercial)
- by mP
I am interested in finding out about other job scheduling packages besides Quartz and Flux. Given the plethora of web frameworks i find it perculiar that there is really only one scheduler. Are there others that perhaps are very much unknown/unpopular ?
Spring Batch
Not really a scheduling solution but rather a batch job coordinator etc.

How does Spring Batch differ from
Quartz? Is there a place for them both
in a solution?
Spring Batch and Quartz have different goals. Spring Batch provides
functionality for processing large
volumes of data and Quartz provides
functionality for scheduling tasks. So
Quartz could complement Spring Batch,
but are not excluding technologies. A
common combination would be to use
Quartz as a trigger for a Spring Batch
job using a Cron expression and the
Spring Core convenience
SchedulerFactoryBean .
