Using an existing factory - quartz integration

[Colin Taylor]

Hi there,

can anyone share the best way of invoking an existing factory to use with the set-object directive?
I'm trying to integrate quartz, whose scheduler is commonly constructed :

StdSchedulerFactory schedFactory = new StdSchedulerFactory();
        try {
            quartz = (org.quartz.Scheduler) schedFactory.getScheduler();
            quartz.start();
       }


I would like to use the existing StdSchedulerFactory with set-object rather than create a new factory or create a service to invoke the existing factory which would be complete overkill considering I'm only going to make one quartz object. Is this possible?

I've got as far as:

    <service-point id="Scheduler" interface="com. ...MyScheduler">
        <invoke-factory model="pooled">
            <construct class="com....impl.MySchedulerImpl">
                <set-object property="quartzScheduler" value="???"/>
            </construct>
        </invoke-factory>
    </service-point>


One nice way I thought of was having groovy configuration scraps in the xml.

so :
    <service-point id="Scheduler" interface="com. ...MyScheduler">
        <invoke-factory model="pooled">
            <construct class="com....impl.MySchedulerImpl">
               <set-object property="quartzScheduler"
                   <groovy>
                       schedFactory = new org.quartz.StdSchedulerFactory();
                       quartz =schedFactory.getScheduler();
                       quartz.start();
                       return quartz;     /// put as value attribute on set-object
                    </groovy>
               </set-object>
            </construct>
        </invoke-factory>
    </service-point>






As an aside having a dtd or xsd would be a big addition to Hiveminds rather opaque documentation.

Cheers
Colin.
