The mailet is a multithreaded component started at james initialization and disposed just before the james stop. You can create the scheduler just inside the Mailet with no need to use an avalon-component.

The fulcrum-quartz package is useful if you need to schedule processes in the container not starting from the mailet.

Hi,

I have a mailet in which I want to schedule a job.
I am using James 2.2.0.

I have found the fulcrum-quartz package which shows how to configure the quartz scheduler in an avalon container.

I have added in a new block into the assembly.xml for the quartz scheduler and added it into the James block as a provider.
Now in a mailet I can schedule a job.

However I want the job to send an email.

I have tried adding in a the James block as a provide of the quartz block I defined (and added in the dependency in the .xinfo) file.

Now I have a circular dependency which the server duly tells me.

In the case where I have 2 blocks that "use" the services of each other, how can one set up the assembly.xml and .xinfo files to facilitate this
and avoid the circular dependency.
I cant see how to do it other than using the service method in the container (James) to potentially set itself into the component (QuartzScheduler).
Is there a better way?

Rgds,
Phil
