I am searching for a flex library for job scheduling. I know the Timer API, but this is not exactly what I am searching for. Here is (one of) my usecase for my AIR application:
So I am searching for a library like quartz in java, just a small sweet library for executing cron(like) jobs.
I hope someone can help me 🙂
Flex is used to build client side tools. It is not a service that runs constantly. While you can set up the timer to do something like connect to a web site every fifteen minutes, it will only work if the application is up and running. For something like that, you’re best bet is getting a push server in place, such as LiveCycle or GraniteDS and pushing data to the server when needed.
You can also write some logic to connect to a web site on the first Monday of a month.
All that said, neither of these would if the application is not running. I do not thing Flex is the appropriate tool for cron-like jobs.
I would suggest researching elsewhere.
