spring with quartz example

[Gopu Akraju]

Hi,

I did go through one of the tutorial at http://www.javaranch.com/journal/200711/combining_spring_and_quartz.html.

I am trying an example on how to integrate spring with quartz and tried your example. I am using netbeans to run my applicationa nd following are my files.

  
package springquartzdemo;
 
import org.quartz.SchedulerException;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class RanchQuartz {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws SchedulerException {
        ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("schedule.xml");
    }
}
  

 
package springquartzdemo;
 
import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionException;
import org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.QuartzJobBean;
public class RanchJob extends QuartzJobBean {
    @Override
    protected void executeInternal(JobExecutionContext ctx) throws JobExecutionException {
        String message = (String) ctx.getJobDetail().getJobDataMap().get("message");
        System.out.println("[JOB] " + message);
    }
}
   

schedule.xml

  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 
<root>
    <bean name="ranchJob" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDetailBean">
        <property name="jobClass" value="springquartzdemo.RanchJob" />
        <property name="jobDataAsMap">
            <map>
                <entry key="message" value="Welcome at JavaRanch" />
            </map>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="ranchTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SimpleTriggerBean">
        <property name="jobDetail" ref="ranchJob" />
        <property name="startDelay" value="0" />
        <property name="repeatInterval" value="10000" />
    </bean>
    
    <bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
        <property name="triggers">
            <list>
                <ref bean="ranchTrigger" />
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>  
  
</root>
  

I have added all apring, quartz, commons etc.. jar files. When I try to run the application, I get the exception as follows:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException:
IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [schedule.xml];
nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open class path resource [schedule.xml]
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open class path resource [schedule.xml]

I tried giving the absolute path to the xml and still get the same exception. I also tried another example as found in the thread at http://www.coderanch.com/t/60679/oa/sample-application-example-Scheduler-Scheduling and I get the same exception. Could you please tell me what went wrong? It is not able to open the xml file.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure to have this schedule.xml in your classpath

Yes, as Rick says, and as stated in the article :

I use ClassPathXmlApplicationContext here, so "schedule.xml" must be somewhere in the classpath.

In Netbeans, configure the execution of the application so that the xml is in the classpath. See this page.
