In previous post, we learned about 2 ways to use timer tasks in spring 3 framework. Spring provides excellent support for scheduling jobs based on cron expression also. This scheduling is possible with use of @Scheduled annotation. According to spring documentation: Spring 3.0 also adds annotation support for both task scheduling and asynchronous method execution. The @Scheduled annotation can be added to a method along with trigger metadata. In this post, I will show the means to use this feature in 4 different ways.

To use @Scheduled in your spring application, you must first define below xml namespace and schema location definition in your application-config.xml file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 x m l n s : t a s k = " h t t p : / / w w w . s p r i n g f r a m e w o r k . o r g / s c h e m a / t a s k " h t t p : / / w w w . s p r i n g f r a m e w o r k . o r g / s c h e m a / t a s k h t t p : / / w w w . s p r i n g f r a m e w o r k . o r g / s c h e m a / t a s k / s p r i n g t a s k 3 . 0 . x s d

Above additions are necessary because we will be using annotation based configurations. Now add below definition to enable annotations.
1 < t a s k : a n n o t a t i o n d r i v e n >
?
Next step is to create a class and a method inside the class like below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
?
Using @Scheduled annotation would in turn make Spring container understand that the method underneath this annotation would run as a job. Remember that the methods annotated with @Scheduled should not have parameters passed to them. They should not return any values too. If you want the external objects to be used within your @Scheduled methods, you should inject them into the DemoService class using autowiring rather than passing them as parameters to the @Scheduled methods.

I love to discuss things and thats exactly why I am here. In java, I have around 7 Yrs of experience, which has only increased my hunger for learning more. In this blog, i will be writing on different topics

i am trying to use @Scheduled(fixedRate=86400000) to schedule it every 24 hrs. what if my server (tomcat) is shutdown (for example another deployment), will it run in every 24hrs.

Hi, Lokesh. Thank you for sharing! I have one more question: which are the best ways to combine these solutions with the @Async annotation? Thank you! Lo kesh Gu pta
6 OCTOBER, 2013 AT 7:04 PM
@Async annotation helps in asynchronous processing, means you do not want to wait for completion of task. Use it when you have a valid usecase. Putting @Async annotation is enough.

Hi Lokesh, I am new to spring..can you please tell me how to implement above scheduler in my application..how to pass parameter to a method if I schedule it. Lo kesh Gu pta

preferences which multiple users can have differently, and schedule information stored in database. If it is your case, use something else e.g. quartz.

Hi Lokesh, I am using config in my application like below I want to modify fixed-delay parameter on the fly from a JSP page , is there a way to get and set fixed-delay programatically and modify it on the fly? Thanks, Pankaj Lo kesh Gu pta

I am facing sudden stop in execution of scheduled task and there are no exception no log even in server. can any body please suggest me what to do.. Lo kesh Gu pta
3 OCTOBER, 2013 AT 8:21 PM
Thats strange. Try putting whole code in scheduler inside try-catch. Catch Exception class in catch block. Set logging level debug. Anybody, any idea??

Hi, I am planning to write a web-app to create appointments with teachers. Student should be able to create an appointment with teacher at a time. How can we do this using Spring.

Hi, I referred to your Spring MVC blog and it was very useful to me. I am planning to write an application using java to schedule appointment with teachers. Students can fix appointment with teachers by specifying the time. Student can fix one slot with one teacher at a time. Once the time is fixed, the application should not allow the student or the teacher to book the slot to others. How can I use the Spring scheduler to achieve this? Also can Spring take date and time values to set up an appointment? Please let me know how to do this in spring. Regards, Pradeep Lo kesh Gu pta
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 9:58 PM
Why you need Spring scheduler for this. Schedulers are for executing a repeating task in certain interval. You just need to store appointment details in database using simple MVC and validate against it in other places. Am i missing anything?
Pradeep
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 10:18 PM
But If I store the appointment details in the DB, I need to do a lot of validation so that the student cannot crete another appointment with someone at the same time, the teacher cannot

have appointment with other student at the same time.. etc. Is there any better way to do this? Lo kesh Gu pta
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 10:35 PM
Why lots of validations? You can reduce lots of logic by creating well-thought SELECT queries and unique key constraints.
Pradeep
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 10:47 PM
Got it!! having a many to many relationship by having a join table ad putting the constraints I can get there. Cool. Any idea of how to do a UI for the same. Like integrating the server with outlook or gmail or custom Calendar UI. PLease let me know. Lo kesh Gu pta
