News you can use - Quartz Plugin for Struts While plowing through the 5000+ e-mails at work this morning, I tripped over the QuartzPlugin for Struts. This looks very cool - a way to configure scheduled tasks (i.e. a cron job) as part of your web application.

The QuartzPlugin for Struts allows you to automatically configure and start a Quartz scheduler upon initialization of your Struts application. It also places itself in your application context to make a scheduler available within your actions. That is, in addition to statically scheduled events like "every six hours," you can dynamically schedule events from Struts actions for "24 hours from now".

Now I just hope I get a chance to utilize this bad boy in the near future. Posted in Java at May 28 2003, 05:56:13 AM MDT 1 Comment
