It seems today every application needs background jobs, here we are going to learn how to integrate Quartz Scheduler with Spring.

Version we are using
Spring 3.x
Quartz 1.8.6
Maven 3
we have to follow few steps for configure quartz with spring
1. Add maven depandancy in pom.xml

<!-- Quartz framework dependencies -->  
    <dependency>  
   <groupId>org.quartz-scheduler</groupId>  
   <artifactId>quartz</artifactId>  
   <version>1.8.6</version>  
   </dependency> 

2..configure spring-quartz.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"  
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans  
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">  

 <bean id="jobs" class="com.yourpackage.Jobs" />  

             <!--  jobs define here  -->  

 <bean id="wallFeedJob"                class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">  
      <property name="targetObject" ref="jobs" />  
      <property name="targetMethod" value="wallFeed" />  
 </bean>       



         <!--  cron trigger define here  -->  

 <bean id="cronTriggerForWall" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
      <property name="jobDetail" ref="wallFeedJob"/>
      <property name="cronExpression" value="0 7 12 * * ?"/>
</bean>



 <!-- scheduler factory bean to bind,the executing code and time intervals together -->  

 <bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">  
      <property name="jobDetails">  
           <list>  
                <ref bean="wallFeedJob" />  

           </list>  
      </property>  
      <property name="triggers">  
           <list>  
               <ref bean="cronTriggerForWall"/>
           </list>  
      </property>  
 </bean>  

</beans>  

3.Write java classes for binds with quartz configuration

 public  class Jobs {

static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger("debugLogger");
public void wallFeed() 
{ 

      logger.debug("wallFeed :::: "+Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
   }  }

4.For testing you can write your main class

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class Main {public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring-quartz.xml");  
 }  
}  

1. Run code and get the output
   
   You can visit the following website for adjustment of time and date of job
   http://quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.x/tutorials/tutorial-lesson-06
   http://quartz-scheduler.org/api/2.0.0/org/quartz/CronExpression.html
   

May be it would help.
