Spring Boot offers several conveniences for working with the Quartz scheduler, including the spring-boot-starter-quartz
“Starter”.
If Quartz is available, a Scheduler
is auto-configured (through the SchedulerFactoryBean
abstraction).
Beans of the following types are automatically picked up and associated with the Scheduler
:
-
JobDetail
: defines a particular Job.JobDetail
instances can be built with theJobBuilder
API. -
Calendar
. -
Trigger
: defines when a particular job is triggered.
By default, an in-memory JobStore
is used.
However, it is possible to configure a JDBC-based store if a DataSource
bean is available in your application and if the configprop:spring.quartz.job-store-type[] property is configured accordingly, as shown in the following example:
spring:
quartz:
job-store-type: "jdbc"
When the JDBC store is used, the schema can be initialized on startup, as shown in the following example:
spring:
quartz:
jdbc:
initialize-schema: "always"
Warning
|
By default, the database is detected and initialized by using the standard scripts provided with the Quartz library. These scripts drop existing tables, deleting all triggers on every restart. It is also possible to provide a custom script by setting the configprop:spring.quartz.jdbc.schema[] property. |
To have Quartz use a DataSource
other than the application’s main DataSource
, declare a DataSource
bean, annotating its @Bean
method with @QuartzDataSource
.
Doing so ensures that the Quartz-specific DataSource
is used by both the SchedulerFactoryBean
and for schema initialization.
Similarly, to have Quartz use a TransactionManager
other than the application’s main TransactionManager
declare a TransactionManager
bean, annotating its @Bean
method with @QuartzTransactionManager
.
By default, jobs created by configuration will not overwrite already registered jobs that have been read from a persistent job store. To enable overwriting existing job definitions set the configprop:spring.quartz.overwrite-existing-jobs[] property.
Quartz Scheduler configuration can be customized using spring.quartz
properties and SchedulerFactoryBeanCustomizer
beans, which allow programmatic SchedulerFactoryBean
customization.
Advanced Quartz configuration properties can be customized using spring.quartz.properties.*
.
Note
|
In particular, an Executor bean is not associated with the scheduler as Quartz offers a way to configure the scheduler via spring.quartz.properties .
If you need to customize the task executor, consider implementing SchedulerFactoryBeanCustomizer .

Jobs can define setters to inject data map properties. Regular beans can also be injected in a similar manner, as shown in the following example:
