Question

Im writting a Spring Application, which has to run a task in a new thread that should be started every couple of seconds. My XML looks like this:

<bean id="checkEmail" class="com.turbineam.dataloader.commons.QuartzSchedulerBean"></bean>

<bean id="scheduledTask" class="org.springframework.scheduling.timer.ScheduledTimerTask">
    <property name="delay" value="1000" />
    <property name="period" value="1000" />
    <property name="timerTask" ref="checkEmail" />
</bean>

And for Java code I have:

package com.turbineam.dataloader.commons;
import java.util.TimerTask;

public class QuartzSchedulerBean extends TimerTask {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("printMe!");
    }
}

But it doesn’t affect my whole program (which makes something else)

how can I make this right?

Kind Regards,

Rafał

You’re missing a TaskExecutor implementation.
