I need to perform a task when the Quartz scheduler is shutting down.

Question

Hi All,

I have a requirement in which I have to do a certain database relted activity when my Quartz will be shut down. I mean I have to wipe out a certain data from the database when I shutdown the scheduler. Is there any way I can achieve this?

While googling I came across methods to determine the present state of the scheduler. But, is there a way I can capture this scheduler shutdown event.

Thanks in Advance, Ibu

Answer 1

Can you add a ScheduleListener and watch for calls on schedulerShutdown() ?

e.g. Implement an instance of ScheduleListener (which would probably only do something for the implementation of schedulerShutdown().

Then add it to your scheduler instance using Scheduler.addSchedulerListener(). That way your instance of SchedulerListener should get a callback when the scheduler shuts down.

This assumes the scheduler shuts down cleanly. You may have to add a Runtime shutdownHook to ask the scheduler to shutdown.
