How to schedule jobs using XML in Quartz ?

Create “quartz.properties” and “quartz-config.xml” and ensure they are located at project classpath.

1. Create 3 Quartz’s jobs

public class Job1 implements Job {

   @Override

   public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException {

      System.out.println("Job 1 is runing");

   }

}

public class Job2 implements Job {

   @Override

   public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException {

      System.out.println("Job 2 is runing");

   }

}

2. Create quartz.properties

org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = MyScheduler

org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 3

org.quartz.jobStore.class = org.quartz.simpl.RAMJobStore

org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.class =org.quartz.plugins.xml.XMLSchedulingDataProcessorPlugin

org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.fileNames = quartz-config.xml

org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.failOnFileNotFound = true

3. Create quartz-config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<job-scheduling-data

  xmlns="http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/xml/JobSchedulingData"

  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/xml/JobSchedulingData

  http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/xml/job_scheduling_data_1_8.xsd"   version="1.8">

  <schedule>

    <job>

      <name>Job1</name>

      <group>myGroupy</group>

      <description>This is Job 1</description>

      <job-class>com.shaan.Job1</job-class>

    </job>

    <trigger>

      <cron>

        <name>myTriggerName1</name>

        <job-name>Job1</job-name>

        <job-group>myGroup</job-group>

        <!-- It will run every 5 seconds -->

        <cron-expression>0/5 * * * * ?</cron-expression>

      </cron>

    </trigger>

  </schedule>

  <schedule>

    <job>

      <name>Job2</name>

      <group>myGroup</group>

      <description>This is Job 2</description>

      <job-class>com.shaan.Job2</job-class>

    </job>

    <trigger>

      <cron>

        <name>myTriggerName2</name>

        <job-name>Job2</job-name>

        <job-group>myGroup</job-group>

        <!-- It will run every 5 seconds -->

        <cron-expression>0/5 * * * * ?</cron-expression>

      </cron>

    </trigger>

  </schedule>

</job-scheduling-data>

4. Entry in web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<web-app ...>

  <listener>

    <listener-class> 

      org.quartz.ee.servlet.QuartzInitializerListener 

    </listener-class>

  </listener>

</web-app>
