Using the Scheduler Control
The Scheduler Control provides a single interface
com.bea.powertoys.scheduler.Scheduler with only one method.
void schedule(java.util.Date startTime, java.util.Date endTime, int repeatCount, long repeatInterval, java.lang.Class jobClass, java.util.Map contextMap) throws org.quartz.SchedulerException;
Input parameters
| java.util.Date startTime |
Scheduler will start executing
job(s) at this time. If 'startTime' is earlier than the current
execution
time, then the later value becomes the 'startTime'.
|
| java.util.Date endTime |
Scheduler will stop executing
job(s) at this time (if provided). This can also be null. If endTime
isearlier than the 'startTime', then 'endTime' is set to null.
|
| int repeatCount |
Defines, how many times the job
should be repeated. Number of times job executed would be
repeatCount + 1. If 'endTime' is provided then 'repeatCount' is ignored.
|
| long repeatInterval |
Defines, the time interval (in
ms) between job executions. |
| java.lang.Class jobClass |
Class object of your job class.
Instance of this job gets executed by the schduler. Your job must be a
instance of org.quartz.Job interface.
|
| java.util.Map contextMap |
Defines, key-value pair for
org.quartz.JobDataMap.

Invoking the control
The scheduler control method is invoked as follows:
java.util.Date startDate = new Date();
java.util.Date endDate = null;
int repeatCount = 10;
long repeatInterval = 2000;
Class jobClass = MyJob.class;
java.util.Map contextMap = new HashMap();
contextMap.put("key" , "value");
control.schedule(startDate, endDate,repeatCount,repeatInterval,jobClass,contextMap);
Note
The Scheduler control only provides basic functionality of Quartz job
scheduling system. To learn more about Quartz, please refer here.
Also, scheduler control uses org.quartz.SimpleTrigger
The Java Page Flow sample that accompanies the Scheduler Control
demonstrates
how to use the control.
