Question

I’m developing a football manager website, but I can’t figure out how to use properly the background-thread plugin and Quartz plugin (there is no much docs).
My problem is..
I have a Controller of a Match class, with a function that I need to start at some time.
With quartz I have tried to create a job but then I cannot call directly the function (and how many job should I create if I have more match to start?) or I don’t know how to do it, and with background-thread I create the service class but then I have no idea how to implement it.
Someone Can help me with this?
Thanks

Some times just need to keep tryng 🙂
With quartz I do like this:

class TestJob {

    MatchController match = new MatchController()

    static triggers = {
        /*
         * firstThread runs every minute from 8 to 9:59 on wednsday
         */
        cron name: 'firstThread', cronExpression: "0 0/1 8-9 ? * WED"
        cron name: 'secondThread', cronExpression: "0 0/5 8-9 ? * WED"
        cron name: 'thirdThread', cronExpression: "0 0/10 8-9 ? * WED"
        cron name: 'forthThread', cronExpression: "0 0/15 8-9 ? * WED"
    }

    def group = "MyGroup"

    def execute() {
        /*
         *  execute task
         *  call playMatch from match controller
         */
        println "run thread: "
            + String.format('%tH:%<tM:%<tS.%<tL',System.currentTimeMillis())

        match.playMatch()
    }
}

Seems to work.
But still wonder I to use background-thread
