Hi all,
What's the best scheduler or cron for use with tomcat?
I've been googling and Quartz and Jcrontab seem to turn up often.
The Quartz website says it's used by some Jakarta projects, and I see
some references to Quarts in commons-beanutils documents in google.
What we're doing specifically: scheduling out-going phone calls
from a VoiceXML system to automatically call users at their preferred
time. I suspect we're going to see calls "cluster" at certain points
(e.g. 6:00, 6:30, 7:00) so the method that starts the call will have
to be multi-threaded, or queued. If I can get some support for that
from the scheduler, so much the better.
We're on tomcat 4.x at the moment. I plan to move up to 5, but I
have a ton of things to do, and I've seen a few posts here that
suggest that moving to 5 might involve non-trivial time and
frustration. Our app is pretty vanilla, so I'm not especially
worried, but I have twenty-seven priority-1 tasks on my plate, so...
