Spring-Quartz scheduler-CronJob NoSuchMethodError org.quartz. Scheduler.setJobFactory

[Rajkamal Pillai]

Hello,

I am involved in a project using Spring framework and we need a scheduler to kick of a process at a given interval of time. I am using the following code :-

<bean id="reportsQueue" class="com.smart.ui.reports.ReportsQueue" />

<bean id="generateReportsJob" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean" lazy-init="false">
<property name="targetObject" ref="reportsQueue" />
<property name="targetMethod" value="generateReports" />
</bean>

<bean name="cronTriggerJob" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
<property name="jobDetail" ref="generateReportsJob"/>
<property name="cronExpression" value="0/1 * * * * "/>
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
  <property name="triggers">
<list>
<ref bean="cronTriggerJob" />
</list>
  </property>
</bean>

When I start up my application, I get the following exception report :-

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.quartz.Scheduler.setJobFactory(Lorg/quartz/spi/JobFactory :wink: V
at org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet(SchedulerFactoryBean.java:592)
...
...
...

The ReportsQueue class extends QuartzJobBean and for now does not implement any interfaces. The methods present in ReportsQueue are :-

public void executeInternal(JobExecutionContext context) 
throws JobExecutionException {}

and

public void generateReports(){}

Does the Exception occur due to any method I have to implement but am not doing that right now? Any help will be very helpful.

Cheers,
Raj.

Which version of Quartz are you using ?

Hi,

I modified existing code from MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean to use the JobDetailBean. I still get the same error on server startup.

After some hair pulling and nail biting I found that the root of the problem was caused from the SchedulerFactoryBean.

I found from the docs that to use the JobDetailBean and its sub-classes the version of Quartz has to be 1.5 or above. Right now I am using the quartz-all-1.6.0.jar and the SchedulerFactoryBean from spring-support-1.2.9.jar.

Is there any version conflict between the classes I am using?



Cheers,
Raj.

Hi,

I feel it was caused by version incompatibility. I gave up on Quartz scheduler and used the Timer. It worked fine. Moving on to weaving another layer now.

Thanks,
Raj.

Yes... There is a conflict. Use jar from "http://www.findjar.com/jar/mule/dependencies/maven2/quartz/quartz-all/1.6.0/quartz-all-1.6.0.jar.html". I use this jar and there are no erros... it is now working...
