Hi All
I am playing with o.a.c.components.cron.TestCronJob.
I am using it to call a pipeline once per day that runs a FlowScript that scours a database for jobs that need doing and sending out email reminders.
The FlowScript calls one pipeline to generate the email body via 'cocoon.processPipelineTo' and another pipeline to generate the cron log written by TestCronJob via 'cocoon.sendPage'.
It works really well, many thanks !!!!!!
Before starting this, I was expecting to have to write my own CronJob, but I found that TestCronJob did everything I needed (call a pipeline, log the output).
However, there is something I do not understand about TestCronJob.
It sleeps after it has done the job, for a configurable amount of time.
try {
Thread.sleep(m_sleep);
} catch (final InterruptedException ie) {
//getLogger().error("CronJob " + name + " interrupted", ie);
}Is it doing this because it is a test class and this is providing some kind of debug information, or is it doing it because this is something that a CronJob needs to do, and I would need to take care to set the sleep parameter appropriately.
Thanks for any suggestions
regards Jeremy
