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);
This example is based on Integrating Webwork and Quartz
