Job Scheduling in Java

Question

I want to run a Java program on a specific date. I am developing a J2EE application that allows you to schedule Selenium test launch (JUnit) on a specified date..

Are there any solutions to do this? can you point me to technology that can help me to do this? any help is appreciated:) thanks for your help

Answer 1

You provided very little information. You can schedule launch in scheduler of your operating system (like cron in Linux), or you can run a task from within your Java process, if the process is constantly running. For this see Quartz Scheduler.

Answer 2

You could use crond or Windows Task Manager.

Answer 3

If you have a Java process running from now to the time it needs to start, look at Quartz.

If you need to have a Java process started from nothing, you must ask your operating system to invoke it for you. For Linux check the "at" command.

Answer 4

Cron on Unix, and Cron for NT on WindowsNT platforms (XP-Windows 7, Windows Server 4.0+).

Why reinvent the wheel?

Answer 5

Not knowing enough details, I would recommend using Quartz. You can see an example of using it here.
