jBoss Seam and quartz setup

jBoss seam 2.0.1 and quartz

During the past days I have been struggling with the quartz implementation/usage in jBoss Seam. First of all - IT WORKS !!! No exceptions and the jobs, triggers, logging it done in a Seam "controlled" datasource.

Below I will try to give a receipe on how to do it:

1. Add the async tag to components.xml (See chapter 18)
async:quartz-dispatcher


2. Create a quartz.properties file (ex. seam.quartz.properties) and place it in classpath (ex. .../WEB-INF/classes) - the datasource is the same as my Seam datasource

#============================================================================
# Configure Main Scheduler Properties
#============================================================================

org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName Sched1
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceId AUTO
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.export false
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.proxy false
org.quartz.scheduler.wrapJobExecutionInUserTransaction true

#============================================================================
# Configure ThreadPool
#============================================================================

org.quartz.threadPool.class org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount 3

#============================================================================
# Configure JobStore
#============================================================================

org.quartz.jobStore.misfireThreshold 60000
org.quartz.jobStore.class org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.JobStoreCMT
org.quartz.jobStore.nonManagedTXDataSource = portalDatasource

org.quartz.jobStore.driverDelegateClass org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.StdJDBCDelegate
org.quartz.jobStore.useProperties false
org.quartz.jobStore.tablePrefix qrtz_


#============================================================================
# Configure Datasources
#============================================================================
org.quartz.dataSource.nonManagedTX.jndiURL = java\:portalDatasource


3. Annotate the desired methods with @Asynchrous
@CreateProcess(definition = "UpdateNetworkUserProcess")
@Asynchronous()
public String startUpdateProcess(long customerId, Map props, @IntervalCron String cron) {
properties = props;
this.customerId = customerId;
return "success";
}

Remember to create the quartz tables

Æ,å,ø in webpages

Using html, xhtml, xml or alike some national characters is not rendered correctly.

Use the decimalvalues instead (ex. Danish characters)

Letter	Html	Decimalvalue*
æ	& aelig;	& #230;
ø	& slash;	& #248;
å	& aring;	& #229;
Æ	& AElig;	& #198;
Ø	& Oslash;	& #216;
Å	& Aring;	& #197;

or look at the unicode site for all other characters.

Thunderbird and vCard

And I was struggling with the Thunderbird mail client, because a friend need’d my vCard. Happily I tried google and found a must have extension at
