Spring - DefaultManagedTaskScheduler example

DefaultManagedTaskScheduler

This implementation implicitly initializes the underlying task scheduler via JNDI lookup.

According to JSR-236 specification: The Java EE product provider (the application server) must bind a pre-configured, default ManagedScheduledExecutorService so that application components can find it under the JNDI name java:comp/DefaultManagedScheduledExecutorService.

Spring's DefaultManagedTaskScheduler internally initializes the underlying scheduler from this JNDI look up. The scheduler must be used as a bean otherwise this class will work as super class ConcurrentTaskScheduler.

Also this class is not strictly JSR-236 based; it can work with any regular ScheduledExecutorService that can be found in JNDI.

Example

In the following example we are not going to demonstrate implicit JNDI binding in a JEE server environment but instead we are going to bind "java:comp/DefaultManagedScheduledExecutorService" manually by using SimpleNamingContextBuilder.

package com.logicbig.example;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.scheduling.TaskScheduler;
import org.springframework.scheduling.concurrent.DefaultManagedTaskScheduler;

@Configuration
public class MyConfig {

  @Bean
  TaskScheduler taskScheduler() {
      return new DefaultManagedTaskScheduler();
  }

  @Bean
  MyBean myBean() {
      return new MyBean();
  }
}
package com.logicbig.example;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.scheduling.TaskScheduler;

import java.time.LocalTime;

public class MyBean {
  @Autowired
  TaskScheduler taskScheduler;

  public void runTask() {
      taskScheduler.scheduleWithFixedDelay((Runnable) () -> {
          System.out.println("running " + LocalTime.now());
      }, 1000L);
  }
}
package com.logicbig.example;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.mock.jndi.SimpleNamingContextBuilder;
import org.springframework.scheduling.concurrent.DefaultManagedTaskScheduler;

import javax.naming.NamingException;
import java.util.concurrent.Executor;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;

public class DefaultManagedTaskSchedulerExample {

  public static void main (String[] args) throws NamingException, InterruptedException {
      //binding the scheduler manually,
      // In JEE compliant server environment this will be
      // provided by the server product

      SimpleNamingContextBuilder b = new SimpleNamingContextBuilder();
      b.bind("java:comp/DefaultManagedScheduledExecutorService",
             Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(5));
      b.activate();

      //bootstrapping spring
      ApplicationContext context =
                new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(MyConfig.class);
      MyBean bean = context.getBean(MyBean.class);
      bean.runTask();
      //shutdown after 10 sec
      Thread.sleep(10000);
      DefaultManagedTaskScheduler scheduler = context.getBean(
                DefaultManagedTaskScheduler.class);
      Executor exec = scheduler.getConcurrentExecutor();
      ExecutorService es = (ExecutorService) exec;
      es.shutdownNow();
  }
}
