Can I turn off quartz scheduler with a property setting? - spring

Question

We disable the quartz scheduler locally by commenting out the scheduler factory bean in the jobs.xml file.
Is there a setting for doing something similar in the quartz.properties file?

Answer 1

If you use Spring Framework you can make subclass from org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean and override afterPropertiesSet() method.
public class MySchedulerFactoryBean extends org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean {
#Autowired
private #Value("${enable.quartz.tasks}") boolean enableQuartzTasks;
#Override
public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
if (enableQuartzTasks) {
super.afterPropertiesSet();
}
}
}
Then change declaration of factory in xml file and set "enable.quartz.tasks" property in properties file. That's all.
Of course, instead using #Autowired you can write and use setter method and add
<property name="enableQuartzTasks" value="${enable.quartz.tasks}"/>
to MySchedulerFactoryBean declaration in xml.

Answer 2

No. But the properties file doesn't start the scheduler.
The scheduler doesn't start until/unless some code invokes scheduler.start().

Answer 3

It seems that there is a property autoStartup in org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean. So you can configure it in XML config like this:
<bean id="quartzFactory" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
<property name="autoStartup" value="${cron.enabled}"/>
<property name="triggers">
<list>
<ref bean="someTriggerName"/>
</list>
</property>
</bean>

You can disable Quartz Scheduler if you use Spring Framework 3.1 for creating and starting it.
On my Spring configuration file I use the new profiles feature of Spring 3.1 in this way:
<beans profile="production,test">
<bean name="bookingIndexerJob" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDetailFactoryBean">
<property name="jobClass" value="com.xxx.indexer.scheduler.job.BookingIndexerJob" />
<property name="jobDataAsMap">
<map>
<entry key="timeout" value="10" />
</map>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="indexerSchedulerTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SimpleTriggerFactoryBean">
<property name="jobDetail" ref="bookingIndexerJob" />
<property name="startDelay" value="1000" />
<property name="repeatInterval" value="5000" />
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
<property name="triggers">
<list>
<ref bean="indexerSchedulerTrigger" />
</list>
</property>
<property name="dataSource" ref="ds_quartz-scheduler"></property>
<property name="configLocation" value="classpath:quartz.properties" />
<property name="applicationContextSchedulerContextKey" value="applicationContext" />
</bean>
</beans>
Only when I want to start the Scheduler (for example on the production environment), I set the spring.profiles.active system property, with the list of active profiles:
-Dspring.profiles.active="production"

I personally like the answer from Demis Gallisto. If you can work with profiles, this would be my recommendation.
Nowadays people most likely prefer to work with Annotations, so as an addition to his answer.
#Configuration
#Profile({ "test", "prod" })
public class SchedulerConfig {
#Bean
// ... some beans to setup your scheduler
}
This will trigger the scheduler only when the profile test OR prod is active. So if you set an different profile, e.g. -Dspring.profiles.active=dev nothing will happen.
If for some reasons you cannot use the profile approach, e.g. overlap of profiles ...
The solution from miso.belica seems also to work.
Define a property. e.g. in application.properties: dailyRecalculationJob.cron.enabled=false and use it in your SchedulerConfig.
#Configuration
public class SchedulerConfig {
#Value("${dailyRecalculationJob.cron.enabled}")
private boolean dailyRecalculationJobCronEnabled;
#Bean
public SchedulerFactoryBean schedulerFactoryBean(JobFactory jobFactory, Trigger trigger) throws
SchedulerFactoryBean factory = new SchedulerFactoryBean();
factory.setAutoStartup(dailyRecalculationJobCronEnabled);
// ...
return factory;
}
// ... the rest of your beans to setup your scheduler
}

Answer 6

I had similar issue: disable scheduler in test scope.
Here is part of my applicationContext.xml
<task:annotation-driven scheduler="myScheduler" />
<task:scheduler id="myScheduler" pool-size="10" />
And I've disabled scheduler using 'primary' attribute and Mockito. Here is my applicationContext-test.xml
<bean id="myScheduler" class="org.mockito.Mockito" factory-method="mock" primary="true">
<constructor-arg value="org.springframework.scheduling.concurrent.ThreadPoolTaskScheduler"/>
</bean>
Hope this help!

Answer 7

The simplest way I've found in a spring boot context for tests is to simply:
#MockBean
Scheduler scheduler;

Answer 8

This scala code works：
#Bean
def schedulerFactoryBean(): SchedulerFactoryBean = {
new SchedulerFactoryBean {
override def afterPropertiesSet(): Unit = {}
}
}
