Question

i’m really confused on the formatting for crontrigger

http://quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.x/tutorials/crontrigger

ive been creating my own format for hours but to no avail 🙁

Edited*

what i need is to trigger every 10months, based on a specific date.

thanks 😀

Answer 1

Cron syntax is too limited to support “every 10 months” semantics since 10 is not an even divisor of 12 (you can easily express every 2, 3, 4 or 6 months with cron).

What you need is a CalendarIntervalTrigger:

This trigger can achieve schedules that are not possible with SimpleTrigger (e.g because months are not a fixed number of seconds) or CronTrigger (e.g. because “every 5 months” is not an even divisor of 12).
