Quartz Job Scheduling Framework Building Open Source Enterprise Applications

Integrate powerful scheduling capabilities into any Java application or environment Do your Java applications contain tasks that must be performed at specific times? Do your systems have recurring maintenance jobs that could be automated? You need Quartz: the first full-featured, open source job scheduling system.Quartz Job Scheduling Framework reveals how to make the most of Quartz with virtually any J2EE or J2SE application, from the smallest standalone program to the largest e-commerce system. Best-selling author Chuck Cavaness (Programming Jakarta Struts) shows developers and architects how to integrate Quartz with each leading open source Java framework, including Hibernate, Spring, and Struts.Using practical examples, Cavaness illuminates everything from basic job scheduling through the use of Quartz in clustered environments and enterprise workflow applications. To jumpstart your own Quartz projects, he also presents a full chapter of "cookbook" sample code. Coverage includes: · Understanding the value of scheduling in the enterprise environment· Installing and configuring the Quartz framework· Scheduling jobs, and triggering them on simple or complex schedules· Using JobStores to persist schedule information between JVM restarts· Using Listeners to receive callbacks from Quartz when key events occur· Extending Quartz with Plugins· Accessing Quartz through a Web-based graphical interface· Clustering Quartz applications, both horizontally and vertically· Using RMI to schedule Quartz remotely· Leveraging Quartz to automate maintenance and workflowCavaness, Chuck is the author of 'Quartz Job Scheduling Framework Building Open Source Enterprise Applications', published 2006 under ISBN 9780131886704 and ISBN 0131886703.
