Question

For example, I have two tasks:

  <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.scheduler.Scheduler" name=":service=Scheduler">
    <attribute name="StartAtStartup">true</attribute>
    <attribute name="SchedulableClass">Scheduler1</attribute>
    <attribute name="InitialStartDate">NOW</attribute>
    <attribute name="SchedulePeriod">60</attribute>
    <attribute name="InitialRepetitions">-1</attribute>
    <attribute name="FixedRate">false</attribute>
  </mbean>

  <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.scheduler.Scheduler" name=":service=Scheduler2">
    <attribute name="StartAtStartup">true</attribute>
    <attribute name="SchedulableClass">Scheduler2</attribute>
    <attribute name="InitialStartDate">NOW</attribute>
    <attribute name="SchedulePeriod">3600</attribute>
    <attribute name="InitialRepetitions">-1</attribute>
    <attribute name="FixedRate">false</attribute>
  </mbean>

I.e. first is scheduled every minute, the second every hour.

The problem is, that if execution of the second task takes, say 5 minutes, then the first one is not executed during this time and it waits till the second one is done.

Is there a way to have them working in parallel? Or I should move to Quartz or something else?

Answer 1

Use

<attribute name="TimerName">jboss:service=TimerNew</attribute>

It will start the schedule in parralel.
