Spring WorkManagerTaskExecutor cannot initialize in websphere - spring

Question

i want use Websphere work manager for executing async jobs in jee context but i have problem with creating spring WorkManager.
bean definition:
<bean id="taskExecutor" class="org.springframework.scheduling.commonj.WorkManagerTaskExecutor"> <property name="workManagerName" value="wm/default" /> </bean>
this definition i found in websphere help. But problem is this ends with noClassDefFound. I noticed pckg org.springframework.scheduling.commonj is missing from spring-context since version 2.x.x
Is it replaced with org.springframework.jca.work.WorkManagerTaskExecutor ?
when i use this other spring class, i get error:
Caused by: org.springframework.jndi.TypeMismatchNamingException:
Object of type [class com.ibm.ws.asynchbeans.WorkManagerImpl]
available at JNDI location [wm/default] is not assignable to
[javax.resource.spi.work.WorkManager]
so whats deal here? thx
was - 7.0.0.23
spring - 3.1.2

Answer 1

Class org.springframework.scheduling.commonj.WorkManagerTaskExecutor resides in spring-context-support-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar

Answer 2

Configuration succeeds with javax.resource.spi.work.WorkManager in applicationContext-service.xml in deployment.....
In my case deployment fails for bean injection org.springframework.scheduling.commonj.WorkManagerTaskExecutor as it fails to take WorkManager JNDI Configured in Application Server.... I just replaced javax.resource.spi.work.WorkManager. And so far it is success deployment.
I yet to see application works fine with it.
<bean id="taskExecutor" class="javax.resource.spi.work.WorkManager">
<property name="workManagerName" value="wm/default" />
</bean>

In our scenario we were managed it by ThreadPoolTaskExecutor instead of WorkManagerTaskExecutor
Here is configuration that comes in ApplicationContext.xml
<!--
<bean id="rtSenderTaskExecutor"
class="org.springframework.scheduling.commonj.WorkManagerTaskExecutor">
<property name="workManagerName">
<value>${org.quartz.threadPool.jndi}</value>
</property>
</bean> -->
<!-- Local Thread Pool -->
<bean id="rtSenderTaskExecutor"
class="org.springframework.scheduling.concurrent.ThreadPoolTaskExecutor">
<property name="corePoolSize" value="${org.quartz.threadPool.corePoolSize}" />
<property name="maxPoolSize" value="${org.quartz.threadPool.maxPoolSize}" />
<property name="queueCapacity" value="${org.quartz.threadPool.queueCapacity}" />
<property name="keepAliveSeconds" value="${org.quartz.threadPool.keepAliveSeconds}"></property>
</bean>
