Quartz Schedular

[sridhar lakka]

Hi All,
Thanks in advance.
We are using Quartz schedular, Please tell me how to get a ServletContext object from the execute() method of Job. I have tried by
Schedular extends HttpServlet implements Job, but the doGet() method is not calling.

Regards,
Sree

Quartz is independent of the servlet environment. If you want your Job implementation to have access to the servlet context, then you need to make it available to it, e.g. in the constructor, or via a static method in some global object that returns it.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
In my execute method I want to set one value in application scope which means need to set one value in ServletContext.
But, as per you, I should get Servlet Context from some where,Please tell me some what clear.

My best shot!

I think you are talking about execute method of Job interface.You might want to write a class implementing Job interface and constructor of that taking servlet context as constructor parameter.

class MyJobImpl implements Job {

private ServletContext sc;
MyJobImpl(ServletContext sc){
this.sc = sc;
}
//execute method implementation.
}

During the creation of object you need to pass the reference of servletcontext.

Passing the ServletContext to the scheduled job doesn't look to be a good approach. What do you want to use from the ServletContext, in the job?
