personally I'm fine with using '+' or any other character that makes sense in the context of the uri and doesn't conflict with any of the existing cron trigger syntax
but i also noticed in the recently anounced esper component http://cwiki.apache.org/CAMEL/esper.html there were unescaped spaces in the example uri query strings, perhaps a similar usage could work here? "quartz://group/name?pattern=0 0 0 */2 * $" then we just need to worry about the '?' char from the pattern. I took a quick look at the uri spec from the rfc and while i'm not 100% sure it looks like a '?' in the query might be valid after the first '?' so something like "quartz://group/name?pattern=0 0 0 */2 * ?" should work assuming the esper example works with the spaces in there it looks like using a query param would cut down on the custom parsing in the component as well so it would be a double win with simplifying the code a bit On Nov 25, 2007 2:41 AM, James Strachan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We can change it; I didn't realise / was used to specify fractions. > > So would you be happy with a URI of something like this? > > quartz://groupName/jobName/0+0+0+*/2+*+$ > > BTW another option is we use a spring XML element to configure the > quartz endpoints to avoid the URI escaping issues... > > <quartz:endpoint id="foo" groupName="bar" jobName="cheese" pattern="0 > 0 0 */2 * ?"/> > > -- > James > ------- > http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ > > Open Source Integration > http://open.iona.com >
