The following class performs the glue between Quartz and Webwork:
package com.trantek.sit.action; import com.opensymphony.xwork.ActionProxy; import com.opensymphony.xwork.ActionProxyFactory; import org.quartz.Job; import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext; import org.quartz.JobExecutionException; public class WebWorkJob implements Job { public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException { try { ActionProxy proxy = ActionProxyFactory.getFactory(). createActionProxy("", context.getJobDetail().getName(), context.getJobDetail().getJobDataMap()); proxy.execute(); } catch (Exception e) { throw new JobExecutionException(e); } } }
To schedule webwork actions you simply create a job where
- the name of your job is the name of the WW action to execute (no ".action" suffix).
- all the parameters you want to send to the WW action is contained in the JobDataMap of the JobDetail
(the Quartz scheduler is setup as a servlet according to the javadocs of org.quartz.ee.servlet.QuartzInitializerServlet.)
The following code schedules an e-mail action:
Scheduler scheduler = StdSchedulerFactory.getDefaultScheduler(); JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail("email.send", scheduler.DEFAULT_GROUP, WebworkJob.class); Map m = jobDetail.getJobDataMap(); m.put("to", "me@bogusdomain.com"); m.put("subject", "quartz test"); m.put("body", "This is a quartz test, Hey ho"); m.put("smtpServer", "smtp.bogusdomain.com"); m.put("from", "quartz@bogusdomain.com"); SimpleTrigger trigger = new SimpleTrigger("myTrigger", scheduler.DEFAULT_GROUP, new Date(), null, 0, 0L); scheduler.deleteJob("email.send", scheduler.DEFAULT_GROUP); scheduler.scheduleJob(jobDetail, trigger);
