inject bean reference into a Quartz job in Spring?

Viewed 111358

I managed to configure and schedule a Quartz job using JobStoreTX persistent store in Spring. I do not use Spring's Quartz jobs, because I need to schedule them dynamically, at run time, and all examples of integrating Spring with Quartz that i found were hard-coding the shcedules in the Spring config files... Anyway, here is how I schedule the job:

JobDetail emailJob = JobBuilder.newJob(EMailJob.class)
.withIdentity("someJobKey", "immediateEmailsGroup")
.storeDurably()
.build();

SimpleTrigger trigger = (SimpleTrigger) TriggerBuilder.newTrigger() 
.withIdentity("someTriggerKey", "immediateEmailsGroup")
.startAt(fireTime)
.build();

// pass initialization parameters into the job
emailJob.getJobDataMap().put(NotificationConstants.MESSAGE_PARAMETERS_KEY,       messageParameters);
emailJob.getJobDataMap().put(NotificationConstants.RECIPIENT_KEY, recipient);

if (!scheduler.checkExists(jobKey) && scheduler.getTrigger(triggerKey) != null)     {                                       
// schedule the job to run
Date scheduleTime1 = scheduler.scheduleJob(emailJob, trigger);
}

The EMailJob is a simple job that is sending e-mail using the Spring's JavaMailSenderImpl class.

public class EMailJob implements Job {
@Autowired
private JavaMailSenderImpl mailSenderImpl;

    public EMailJob() {
    }
    public void execute(JobExecutionContext context)
       throws JobExecutionException {
   ....
    try {
        mailSenderImpl.send(mimeMessage);
    } catch (MessagingException e) {
        ....
        throw new JobExecutionException("EMailJob failed: " +  jobKey.getName(), e);
    }

    logger.info("EMailJob finished OK");

}

The problem is that I need to get a reference to an instance of this class (JavaMailSenderImpl) in my EMailJob class. When I try to inject it like this:

@Autowired
private JavaMailSenderImpl mailSenderImpl;

it is not injected - the reference is NULL. I'm assuming this is happening because it is not Spring who instantiates the EMailJob class, but Quartz, and Quartz does not know anything about dependency injection...

So, is there some way to force this injection to happen?

thanks!

Update 1: @Aaron: here is a relevant part of the stacktrace from the startup, which is showing the the EMailJob was instantiated twice:

Update #2: @Ryan:

I tried to use the SpringBeanJobFactory as following:

    <bean id="jobFactoryBean" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SpringBeanJobFactory">
</bean>

<bean id="schedulerFactoryBean" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
        <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:spring/quartz.properties"/>
        <property name="jobFactory" ref="jobFactoryBean"/>
</bean>

And I have modified my main class to get Scheduler from this factory, instead of Quartz':

    @PostConstruct
public void initNotificationScheduler() {
    try {
        //sf = new StdSchedulerFactory("spring/quartz.properties");
        //scheduler = sf.getScheduler();

        scheduler = schedulerFactoryBean.getScheduler();
        scheduler.start();
            ....

But when I run the app - get errors, see below. Here is the stacktrace from Spring startup . Seems like the Scheduler itself is created fine, but the error comes when it is trying to instantiate my EMailJob:

The solution above is great but in my case the injection was not working. I needed to use autowireBeanProperties instead, probably due to the way my context is configured:

import org.quartz.spi.TriggerFiredBundle;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.AutowireCapableBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware;
import org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SpringBeanJobFactory;

public final class AutowiringSpringBeanJobFactory extends SpringBeanJobFactory implements
ApplicationContextAware {

    private transient AutowireCapableBeanFactory beanFactory;

    @Override
    public void setApplicationContext(final ApplicationContext context) {
        beanFactory = context.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();
    }

    @Override
    protected Object createJobInstance(final TriggerFiredBundle bundle) throws Exception {
        final Object job = super.createJobInstance(bundle);
        //beanFactory.autowireBean(job);
        beanFactory.autowireBeanProperties(job, AutowireCapableBeanFactory.AUTOWIRE_BY_TYPE, true);
        return job;
    }
}

This is the right answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6990767/inject-bean-reference-into-a-quartz-job-in-spring/15211030#15211030. and will work for most of the folks. But if your web.xml does is not aware of all applicationContext.xml files, quartz job will not be able to invoke those beans. I had to do an extra layer to inject additional applicationContext files

public class MYSpringBeanJobFactory extends SpringBeanJobFactory
        implements ApplicationContextAware {

    private transient AutowireCapableBeanFactory beanFactory;

    @Override
    public void setApplicationContext(final ApplicationContext context) {

        try {
                PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver pmrl = new PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver(context.getClassLoader());
                Resource[] resources = new Resource[0];
                GenericApplicationContext createdContext = null ;
                    resources = pmrl.getResources(
                            "classpath*:my-abc-integration-applicationContext.xml"
                    );

                    for (Resource r : resources) {
                        createdContext = new GenericApplicationContext(context);
                        XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader = new XmlBeanDefinitionReader(createdContext);
                        int i = reader.loadBeanDefinitions(r);
                    }

            createdContext.refresh();//important else you will get exceptions.
            beanFactory = createdContext.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }



    }

    @Override
    protected Object createJobInstance(final TriggerFiredBundle bundle)
            throws Exception {
        final Object job = super.createJobInstance(bundle);
        beanFactory.autowireBean(job);
        return job;
    }
}

You can add any number of context files you want your quartz to be aware of.

All those solutions above doesn't work for me with Spring 5 and Hibernate 5 and Quartz 2.2.3 when I want to call transactional methods!

I therefore implemented this solution which automatically starts the scheduler and triggers the jobs. I found a lot of that code at dzone. Because I don't need to create triggers and jobs dynamically I wanted the static triggers to be pre defined via Spring Configuration and only the jobs to be exposed as Spring Components.

My basic configuration look like this

@Configuration
public class QuartzConfiguration {

  @Autowired
  ApplicationContext applicationContext;

  @Bean
  public SchedulerFactoryBean scheduler(@Autowired JobFactory jobFactory) throws IOException {
    SchedulerFactoryBean sfb = new SchedulerFactoryBean();

    sfb.setOverwriteExistingJobs(true);
    sfb.setAutoStartup(true);
    sfb.setJobFactory(jobFactory);

    Trigger[] triggers = new Trigger[] {
        cronTriggerTest().getObject()
    };
    sfb.setTriggers(triggers);
    return sfb;
  }

  @Bean
  public JobFactory cronJobFactory() {
    AutowiringSpringBeanJobFactory jobFactory = new AutowiringSpringBeanJobFactory();
    jobFactory.setApplicationContext(applicationContext);
    return jobFactory;
  }

  @Bean 
  public CronTriggerFactoryBean cronTriggerTest() {
    CronTriggerFactoryBean tfb = new CronTriggerFactoryBean();
    tfb.setCronExpression("0 * * ? * * *");

    JobDetail jobDetail = JobBuilder.newJob(CronTest.class)
                            .withIdentity("Testjob")
                            .build()
                            ;

    tfb.setJobDetail(jobDetail);
    return tfb;
  }

}

As you can see, you have the scheduler and a simple test trigger which is defined via a cron expression. You can obviously choose whatever scheduling expression you like. You then need the AutowiringSpringBeanJobFactory which goes like this

public final class AutowiringSpringBeanJobFactory extends SpringBeanJobFactory implements ApplicationContextAware {

  @Autowired
  private ApplicationContext applicationContext;

  private SchedulerContext schedulerContext;

  @Override
  public void setApplicationContext(final ApplicationContext context) {
    this.applicationContext = context;
  }


  @Override
  protected Object createJobInstance(final TriggerFiredBundle bundle) throws Exception {
    Job job = applicationContext.getBean(bundle.getJobDetail().getJobClass());
    BeanWrapper bw = PropertyAccessorFactory.forBeanPropertyAccess(job);

    MutablePropertyValues pvs = new MutablePropertyValues();
    pvs.addPropertyValues(bundle.getJobDetail().getJobDataMap());
    pvs.addPropertyValues(bundle.getTrigger().getJobDataMap());

    if (this.schedulerContext != null)
    {
        pvs.addPropertyValues(this.schedulerContext);
    }
    bw.setPropertyValues(pvs, true);

    return job;
  }  

  public void setSchedulerContext(SchedulerContext schedulerContext) {
    this.schedulerContext = schedulerContext;
    super.setSchedulerContext(schedulerContext);
  }

}

In here you wire your normal application context and your job together. This is the important gap because normally Quartz starts it's worker threads which have no connection to your application context. That is the reason why you can't execute Transactional mehtods. The last thing missing is a job. It can look like that

@Component
public class CronTest implements Job {

  @Autowired
  private MyService s;

  public CronTest() {
  }

  @Override
  public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException {
    s.execute();
  }

}

It's not a perfect solution because you an extra class only for calling your service method. But nevertheless it works.

Jdbc jobstore

If you are using jdbc jobstore Quartz uses a different classloader. That prevents all the workarounds for autowiring, since objects from spring will not be compatible at quartz side, because they originited from a different class loader.

To fix that, the default classloader has to be set in the quartz properties file like this:

org.quartz.scheduler.classLoadHelper.class=org.quartz.simpl.ThreadContextClassLoadHelper

As reference: https://github.com/quartz-scheduler/quartz/issues/221

Simply extend your job from QuartzJobBean

public class MyJob extends QuartzJobBean {

    @Autowired
    private SomeBean someBean;

    @Override
    protected void executeInternal(JobExecutionContext jobExecutionContext) throws JobExecutionException {
        System.out.println("Some bean is " + someBean.toString());
    }

}
