[FIXED] Can I turn off quartz scheduler with a property setting?

Issue

We disable the quartz scheduler locally by commenting out the scheduler factory bean in the jobs.xml file.

Is there a setting for doing something similar in the quartz.properties file?

Solution

If you use Spring Framework you can make subclass from org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean and override afterPropertiesSet() method.

public class MySchedulerFactoryBean extends org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean {

    @Autowired
    private @Value("${enable.quartz.tasks}") boolean enableQuartzTasks;

    @Override
    public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
        if (enableQuartzTasks) {
            super.afterPropertiesSet();
        } 
    }
}

Then change declaration of factory in xml file and set "enable.quartz.tasks" property in properties file. That's all.

Of course, instead using @Autowired you can write and use setter method and add

<property name="enableQuartzTasks" value="${enable.quartz.tasks}"/>

to MySchedulerFactoryBean declaration in xml.
