1. Scheduler Task

Create a scheduler task…

package com.mkyong.common;
public class RunMeTask
{
public void printMe() {
System.out.println("Run Me ~");
}
}

<bean id="runMeTask" class="com.mkyong.common.RunMeTask" />

Spring comes with a MethodInvokingTimerTaskFactoryBean as a replacement for the JDK TimerTask. You can define your target scheduler object and method to call here.

<bean id="schedulerTask"
class="org.springframework.scheduling.timer.MethodInvokingTimerTaskFactoryBean"><property name="targetObject" ref="runMeTask" /><property name="targetMethod" value="printMe" /></bean>

Spring comes with a ScheduledTimerTask as a replacement for the JDK Timer. You can pass your scheduler name, delay and period here.

<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>

2. TimerFactoryBean

In last, you can configure a TimerFactoryBean bean to start your scheduler task.

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

File : Spring-Scheduler.xml

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" id="schedulerTask"
class="org.springframework.scheduling.timer.MethodInvokingTimerTaskFactoryBean"><property name="targetObject" ref="runMeTask" /><property name="targetMethod" value="printMe" /></bean><bean id="runMeTask" class="com.mkyong.common.RunMeTask" /><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></beans>

Run it

package com.mkyong.common;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class App
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
ApplicationContext context =
new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Spring-Scheduler.xml");
}
}

No code need to call the scheduler task, the TimerFactoryBean will run your schedule task during start up. As result, Spring scheduler will run the printMe() method every 60 seconds, with a 1 second delay for the first time of execution.
