Question

We are using ScheduledTimerTask to manage the jobs(automatic) in our application.We are using the following code:

<bean id="SampleTask" 
  class="org.springframework.scheduling.timer.MethodInvokingTimerTaskFactoryBean">
    <property name="targetObject" ref="sampleScheduler" />
    <property name="targetMethod" value="runMethod" />
</bean>

<bean id="sampleScheduler" class="com.sample.SampleScheduler" />

<bean id="timerTask"
    class="org.springframework.scheduling.timer.ScheduledTimerTask">
    <property name="timerTask" ref="schedulerTask" />
    <property name="delay" value="1000" />
    <property name="period" value="60000" />
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.timer.TimerFactoryBean">
    <property name="scheduledTimerTasks">
        <list>
            <ref local="timerTask" />
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

By using the above code runMethod is working fine for every one minute.But we would like to change the execution based on server time.For example,If time in server is 6 PM then we need to invoke the function.How to achieve it?

Help would be appreciated.

You can use task trigger of Spring to invoke at a certian time period, you can use CronTrigger.
