Glassfish + Quartz + EJB

How to configure Quartz in Glassfish V2. With this configuration you can schedule jobs from EJBs, Servlets, MDBs …

Approach:

1. Make a Web application that acts as a Quartz Server (RMI)
2. Configure Glassfish to allow RMI communication with the Webapp
3. Make a test EJB

Make a Web application that acts as a Quartz Server (RMI):

Create normal webapp with the following libs packed in WEB-INF/lib:

1. quartz-1.6.5.jar
2. commons-collections-3.2.jar
3. commons-logging-1.1.jar

include quartz.properties file in WEB-INF/classes with the following entries:

org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = Sched1

org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.export = true

org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.registryHost = localhost

org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.registryPort = 1099

org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.createRegistry = true

org.quartz.threadPool.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool

org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 10

org.quartz.threadPool.threadPriority = 5

org.quartz.jobStore.misfireThreshold = 60000

org.quartz.jobStore.class = org.quartz.simpl.RAMJobStore

Add this to the web.xml:

<listener>

    <listener-class>org.quartz.ee.servlet.QuartzInitializerListener</listener-class>

</listener>

add to sun-web.xml:

    <class-loader delegate="true"/>

Configure Glassfish to allow RMI communication with the Webapp:

Activate the Security Manager:

Go to Glassfish Admin Console, Go to [Configuration -> Security] and activate [Security Manager]

Edit server.policy file placed in the domain config folder, and add the following rule:

 grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-modules/[web app name]/WEB-INF/lib/quartz-1.6.5.jar” {

     permission java.security.AllPermission;

 };

replace [web app name] with the apropiate name.

Ok. that is all. Copy the war to the autodeploy dir and restart Glassfish.

Make a test EJB:

Package the following jars into the ejb jar:

1. quartz-1.6.5.jar
2. commons-collections-3.2.jar
3. commons-logging-1.1.jar

put quartz.properties file in jar root with the following entries:

org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = Sched1

org.quartz.scheduler.logger = schedLogger

org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.proxy = true

org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.registryHost = localhost

org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.registryPort = 1099

Ok. It is ready, now you can access the Scheduler from any EJB:

SchedulerFactory sf = new StdSchedulerFactory();

Scheduler sched = sf.getScheduler();

Download sample code:

1. Quartz Server WebApp
2. EJB Quartz Client

Node: All dependency jars were removed, just download quartz-1.6.5.jar, commons-collections-3.2.jar, commons-logging-1.1.jar from Quartz home site and put it in lib dir in both projects.
