public class Scheduler
extends ServiceMBeanSupport
implements SchedulerMBean

Scheduler Instance to allow clients to run this as a scheduling service for any Schedulable instances.
ATTENTION: The scheduler instance only allows to run one schedule at a time. Therefore when you want to run two schedules create to instances with this MBean. Suggested Object Name for the MBean are:
jboss:service=Scheduler,schedule=
This way you should not run into a name conflict.

Specified by:
setSchedulableArguments in interface SchedulerMBean
Following copied from interface: org.jboss.util.SchedulerMBean

An example could be: "doSomething( NOTIFICATION, REPETITIONS, java.lang.String )" where the Scheduler will pass the timer's notification instance, the remaining repetitions as int and a null to the MBean's doSomething() method which must have the following signature: doSomething( javax.management.Notification, long, java.lang.String ).
Specified by:
setSchedulableMBeanMethod in interface SchedulerMBean
Following copied from interface: org.jboss.util.SchedulerMBean
Parameters:
pSchedulableMBeanMethod - Name of the method to be called optional followed by method arguments (see above).
Throws:
java.security.InvalidParameterException - If the given value is not of the right format

isUsingMBean

public boolean isUsingMBean()
Specified by:
isUsingMBean in interface SchedulerMBean
Following copied from interface: org.jboss.util.SchedulerMBean
Returns:
True if the Scheduler uses a Schedulable MBean, false if it uses a Schedulable class

getSchedulePeriod

public long getSchedulePeriod()
Specified by:
getSchedulePeriod in interface SchedulerMBean
Following copied from interface: org.jboss.util.SchedulerMBean
Returns:
Schedule Period between two scheduled calls in Milliseconds. It will always be bigger than 0 except it returns -1 then the schedule is stopped.

setSchedulePeriod

public void setSchedulePeriod(long pPeriod)
Description copied from interface: SchedulerMBean
Sets the Schedule Period between two scheduled call.
Specified by:
setSchedulePeriod in interface SchedulerMBean
Following copied from interface: org.jboss.util.SchedulerMBean
Parameters:
pPeriod - Time between to scheduled calls (after the initial call) in Milliseconds. This value must be bigger than 0.
Throws:
java.security.InvalidParameterException - If the given value is less or equal than 0

getInitialStartDate

public java.lang.String getInitialStartDate()
Specified by:
getInitialStartDate in interface SchedulerMBean
Following copied from interface: org.jboss.util.SchedulerMBean
Returns:
Date (and time) of the first scheduled. For value see setInitialStartDate() method.

setInitialStartDate

public void setInitialStartDate(java.lang.String pStartDate)
Description copied from interface: SchedulerMBean
Sets the first scheduled call. If the date is in the past the scheduler tries to find the next available start date.
Specified by:
setInitialStartDate in interface SchedulerMBean
Following copied from interface: org.jboss.util.SchedulerMBean
Parameters:
pStartDate - Date when the initial call is scheduled. It can be either:
  • NOW: date will be the current date (new Date()) plus 1 seconds
  • Date as String able to be parsed by SimpleDateFormat with default format
  • Milliseconds since 1/1/1970
If the date is in the past the Scheduler will search a start date in the future with respect to the initial repe- titions and the period between calls. This means that when you restart the MBean (restarting JBoss etc.) it will start at the next scheduled time. When no start date is available in the future the Scheduler will not start.
Example: if you start your Schedulable everyday at Noon and you restart your JBoss server then it will start at the next Noon (the same if started before Noon or the next day if start after Noon).

getInitialRepetitions

public long getInitialRepetitions()
Specified by:
getInitialRepetitions in interface SchedulerMBean
