Question

I want to run a periodic task within a Grails application. Can anyone recommend a best practice for doing this?

Answer 1

My recommendation would be the Quartz Plugin, here’s a summary of the plugin from the site:

Quartz plugin allows your Grails
application to schedule jobs to be
executed using a specified interval or
cron expression. The underlying system
uses the Quartz Enterprise Job
Scheduler configured via Spring, but
is made simpler by the coding by
convention paradigm.
