In previous post, we learned about 2 ways to use timer tasks in
spring 3 framework.
Spring provides excellent support for scheduling jobs based on
cron expression
also. This scheduling is possible with use of @Scheduled
annotation. According to
spring documentation:
Spring 3.0 also adds annotation support for both task scheduling
and asynchronous
method execution. The @Scheduled annotation can be added to a
method along with
trigger metadata.
In this post, I will show the means to use this feature in 4
different ways.

Explaining @Scheduled annotation
Task scheduling using fixed delay attribute in @Scheduled
annotation
Task scheduling using cron expression in @Scheduled
annotation

@Scheduled annotation
Task scheduling using cron expression configured in context
configuration
Sourcecode download link
Explaining @Scheduled annotation
This annotation is used for task scheduling. The trigger
information needs to be
provided along with this annotation. You can use the
properties
fixedDelay/fixedRate/cron to provide the triggering
information.
1. fixedRate makes Spring run the task on periodic intervals
even if the last invocation
may be still running.
2. fixedDelay specifically controls the next execution time when
the last execution
finishes.
3. cron is a feature originating from Unix cron utility and has
various options based on
your requirements.
Example usage can be as below:
@Scheduled(fixedDelay =30000)
public void demoServiceMethod () {... }
@Scheduled(fixedRate=30000)
public void demoServiceMethod () {... }
@Scheduled(cron="0 0 * * * *")
public void demoServiceMethod () {... }
To use @Scheduled in your spring application, you must first
define below xml
namespace and schema location definition in your
application-config.xml file.
123456
xmlns:task="http://www.springframework.org/schema/task"
http://www.springframework.org/schema/task
http://www.springframework.org/schema/task/spring-task-3.0.xsd

3/12
Above additions are necessary because we will be using
annotation based
configurations. Now add below definition to enable
annotations.
Next step is to create a class and a method inside the class
like below:
Using @Scheduled annotation would in turn make Spring container
understand that the
method underneath this annotation would run as a job. Remember
that the methods
annotated with @Scheduled should not have parameters passed to
them. They should
not return any values too. If you want the external objects to
be used within your
@Scheduled methods, you should inject them into the DemoService
class using
autowiring rather than passing them as parameters to the
@Scheduled methods.
Method 1) Task scheduling using fixed delay attribute
in@Scheduled annotation
In this method, fixedDelay attribute is used with @Scheduled
annotation. Alternatively,
fixedRate can also be used.
A sample class will look like this:
1
12345678
public class DemoService{ @Scheduled(cron="*/5 * * * * ?")
public void demoServiceMethod() { System.out.println("Method
executed at every 5 seconds. Current time is :: " }}
1234567891011121314
package com.howtodoinjava.service; import java.util.Date;import
org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.Scheduled; public class
DemoServiceBasicUsageFixedDelay{ @Scheduled(fixedDelay = 5000)
//@Scheduled(fixedRate = 5000) public void demoServiceMethod() {
System.out.println("Method executed at every 5 seconds. Current
time is :: " }}
?

And application configuration will look like this:
Method 2) Task scheduling using cron expression in@Scheduled
annotation
In this method, cron attribute is used with @Scheduled
annotation. Value of this
attribute must be a cron expression.
A sample class will look like this:

Method 3) Task scheduling using cron expression fromproperties
file
In this method, cron attribute is used with @Scheduled
annotation. Value of this
attribute must be a cron expression as in previous method, BUT,
this cron expression
will be defined in a properties file and key of related property
will be used in @Scheduled
annotation.
This will decouple the cron expression from source code, thus
making changes easy.
A sample class will look like this:
And application configuration will look like this:

Method 4) Task scheduling using cron expressionconfigured in
context configuration
In this method, cron expression is configured in properties
file, and job scheduling is
configured in configuration file using property key for cron
expression. Major change is
that you do not need to use @Scheduled annotation on any method.
Method
configuration is also done in application configuration
file.
A sample class will look like this:

i am trying to use @Scheduled(fixedRate=86400000) to schedule it

what if my server (tomcat) is shutdown (for example another

nice tutorial.. thank you for sharing
6 OCTOBER, 2013 AT 5:08 PM
Hi, Lokesh. Thank you for sharing!
I have one more question: which are the best ways to combine
these solutions
with the @Async annotation?
Thank you!
6 OCTOBER, 2013 AT 7:04 PM
@Async annotation helps in asynchronous processing, means you
do
not want to wait for completion of task. Use it when you have a
valid
usecase. Putting @Async annotation is enough.
7 OCTOBER, 2013 AT 4:52 AM
Youre completely right, Lokesh! Thank you for your quick
response.

Hi Lokesh,
I am new to spring..can you please tell me how to implement
above scheduler
in my application..how to pass parameter to a method if I
schedule it.

If I am understanding correctly, you want to schedule based on

preferences which multiple users can have differently, and
schedule
information stored in database. If it is your case, use
something else e.g.
quartz.

Hi Lokesh,
I am using config in my application like below
I want to modify fixed-delay parameter on the fly from a JSP
page
, is there a way to get and set fixed-delay programatically
and
modify it on the fly?
Thanks,

Thanks Lokesh , will try out this.
3 OCTOBER, 2013 AT 12:30 PM
I am facing sudden stop in execution of scheduled task and there
are no
exception no log even in server.
can any body please suggest me what to do..
3 OCTOBER, 2013 AT 8:21 PM
Thats strange. Try putting whole code in scheduler inside
try-catch.
Catch Exception class in catch block. Set logging level
debug.
Anybody, any idea??

Hi,
I am planning to write a web-app to create appointments with
teachers.
Student should be able to create an appointment with teacher at
a time. How
can we do this using Spring.
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 4:01 PM
Hi,
I referred to your Spring MVC blog and it was very useful to me.
I am planning
to write an application using java to schedule appointment with
teachers.
Students can fix appointment with teachers by specifying the
time. Student
can fix one slot with one teacher at a time. Once the time is
fixed, the
application should not allow the student or the teacher to book
the slot to
others.
How can I use the Spring scheduler to achieve this? Also can
Spring take date
and time values to set up an appointment? Please let me know how
to do this
in spring.
Regards,
Pradeep
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 9:58 PM
Why you need Spring scheduler for this. Schedulers are for
executing a
repeating task in certain interval. You just need to store
appointment
details in database using simple MVC and validate against it in
other
places.
Am i missing anything?
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 10:18 PM
But If I store the appointment details in the DB, I need to do a
lot
of validation so that the student cannot crete another
appointment with someone at the same time, the teacher
cannot

have appointment with other student at the same time.. etc.
Is
there any better way to do this?
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 10:35 PM
Why lots of validations? You can reduce lots of logic by
creating well-thought SELECT queries and unique key
constraints.
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 10:47 PM
Got it!! having a many to many relationship by
having a join table ad putting the constraints I can
get there. Cool.
Any idea of how to do a UI for the same. Like
integrating the server with outlook or gmail or
custom Calendar UI. PLease let me know.
18 SEPTEMBER, 2013 AT 11:00 PM
Sorry on this. Never worked on something like this.
