Struts 2 and Quartz 2 scheduler integration

To integrate Struts 2 and Quartz 2 scheduler we have to use a standard Servlet Listener which links both frameworks together. To create a standard Servlet Listener class implements ServletContextListener interface. ServletContextListener interface provides contextInitialized() method which is executed automatically at the time of Servlet container initialization. Servlet Listener invokes the Quartz scheduler framework in this method. 

Note: Do the listener class entry into web.xml file.

Example:

QuartzListener.java

import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent; import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener; import org.quartz.CronScheduleBuilder; import org.quartz.JobBuilder; import org.quartz.JobDetail; import org.quartz.Scheduler; import org.quartz.Trigger; import org.quartz.TriggerBuilder; import org.quartz.impl.StdSchedulerFactory;   /** * This class is used for executing quartz job * using CronTrigger(Quartz 2.1.5). * @author javawithease */ public class QuartzListener implements ServletContextListener {   @Override public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent arg0) { System.out.println("contextDestroyed is called."); }   @Override public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent arg0) { try{ //Set job details. JobDetail job = JobBuilder.newJob(HelloJob.class) .withIdentity("helloJob", "group1").build();   //Set the scheduler timings. Trigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.newTrigger() .withIdentity("cronTrigger", "group1") .withSchedule(CronScheduleBuilder .cronSchedule("0/10 * * * * ?")).build();   //Execute the job. Scheduler scheduler = new StdSchedulerFactory().getScheduler(); scheduler.start(); scheduler.scheduleJob(job, trigger); }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); } } }

HelloJob.java

import org.quartz.Job; import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext; import org.quartz.JobExecutionException;   /** * This class defines a quartz job. * @author javawithease */ public class HelloJob implements Job{ public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException { System.out.println("Hello World."); } }

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" >   <web-app> <filter> <filter-name>struts2</filter-name> <filter-class> org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng. filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter </filter-class> </filter>   <filter-mapping> <filter-name>struts2</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping>   <listener> <listener-class> com.javawithease.business.QuartzListener </listener-class> </listener>   </web-app>

Output:

Hello World. Hello World. Hello World. Hello World. Hello World. ...
