Can anyone explain how to do achieve a basic configuration of a task using the @Scheduled annotation without any XML configuration? All the examples I can find use at least a minimal XML configuration. For example:

http://blog.springsource.com/2010/01/05/task-scheduling-simplifications-in-spring-3-0/

This uses a typical:

  <context:component-scan base-package="org/springframework/samples/task/basic/annotation"/> 
  <task:annotation-driven/>

So I’m just using a @Configuration annotation with a bunch of @Bean annotations. They are all instantiated at startup but the one with the @Scheduled does not run. I’ve used that annotation successfully in the past when using XML configuration, but never with annotations only.

    The <task:annotation-driven /> annotation ends up declaring a ScheduledAnnotationBeanPostProcessor to read the @Scheduled annotations in your code. See here: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/scheduling/annotation/ScheduledAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.html.

    That takes care of the <task:annotation-driven /> line. To get the component scanning you’ll need to use AnnotationConfigApplicationContext. Not sure if/how that works with a web container though.
