Re: TestCronJob

[Jeremy Quinn]

Hi Alex

I have had this one running every 10 minutes for a day without memory problems:

<trigger name="test-reminders"
        target="org.apache.cocoon.components.cron.CronJob/reminder"
        concurrent-runs="false">
        <minutes>*/10</minutes>
        <hours>*</hours>
        <days>*</days>
        <months>*</months>
        <weekdays>?</weekdays>
</trigger>

<component class="org.apache.cocoon.components.cron.TestCronJob" logger="cron.reminders" role="org.apache.cocoon.components.cron.CronJob/reminder">
<msg>Reminder email sent</msg>
<sleep>23000</sleep>
<pipeline>moderate/reminders</pipeline>
</component>

HTH

Hi Jeremy,

I tried using cron a couple of months ago and ran into
the following problem:

I'd like to know if it's just me or if this happens
for you as well.

Cheers,

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
