Git 'R Done : Scheduling Work With Quartz
Software engineers are usually familiar with the notion of scheduled tasks and cron jobs at the OS level. Quartz is a relatively new open source Java API for scheduling jobs in your applications or Enterprise.
The Quartz API grew out of the Open Symphony project into a powerful way to schedule jobs in the Enterprise. It can easily be embedded in your client side applications or clustered on the server side for participation in JTA transactions.
This talk will be an example-driven walk through beginning with the basic features and ending with large-scale clustered and standalone job engine servers backed by databases.
This talk should be accessible to anyone interested in a job scheduling engine.
