Question

This (obviously) works:

@Every("10s")
public class Extinguisher extends Job {
    ...
}

…but this doesn’t:

@Every(Play.configuration.getProperty("my.setting", "10s"))
public class Extinguisher extends Job {
    ...
}

When running auto-test, the app doesn’t start and complains my controllers can’t get enhanced because of a NullPointerException encountered by javassist.

Is there a way to configure a job scheduling from application.conf?

Answer 1

You can schedule your job manually from @OnApplicationStartup job:

@OnApplicationStartup
public class ExtinguisherBootstrap extends Job { 
    public void doJob() {
        new Extinguisher()
            .every(Play.configuration.getProperty("my.setting", "10s"));
    }
}
