Quartz.Net integration

Quartz.NET is one of the most powerful scheduling libraries for .NET. A contrib project has been created to integrate Quartz.NET with Castle Windsor.

Source code: https://github.com/castleprojectcontrib/QuartzNetIntegration

Binaries: https://github.com/castleprojectcontrib/QuartzNetIntegration/downloads

Also available via NuGet: http://nuget.org/Packages/Packages/Details/Quartz-Windsor-0-1-3

Integration is achieved through a Windsor Facility. Currently, the only way to configure this facility is using XML configuration. Jobs are usually registered and configured in Quartz using the quartz_jobs.xml file. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<quartz xmlns="http://quartznet.sourceforge.net/JobSchedulingData"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        version="1.0" overwrite-existing-jobs="true">
    <job>
        <job-detail>
            <name>hello-world</name>
            <job-type>SampleApp.SampleJob, SampleApp</job-type>
            <durable>true</durable>
        </job-detail>
        <trigger>
            <simple>
                <name>sample-trigger</name>
                <job-name>hello-world</job-name>
                <start-time>1982-06-28T12:24:00.0Z</start-time>
                <repeat-count>-1</repeat-count>
                <repeat-interval>2000</repeat-interval> <!-- 2 seconds -->
            </simple>
        </trigger>
    </job>
</quartz>

The job class (in this case SampleJob) type needs to be registered as a component in Windsor. Then, Quartz parameters have to be defined in the facility configuration, for example:

<castle>
    <facilities>
      <facility id="startable.facility" type="Castle.Facilities.Startable.StartableFacility, Castle.Windsor"/>
      <facility id="quartznet" type="Castle.Facilities.QuartzIntegration.QuartzFacility, Castle.Facilities.QuartzIntegration">
        <quartz>
          <item key="quartz.scheduler.instanceName">XmlConfiguredInstance</item>
          <item key="quartz.threadPool.type">Quartz.Simpl.SimpleThreadPool, Quartz</item>
          <item key="quartz.threadPool.threadCount">5</item>
          <item key="quartz.threadPool.threadPriority">Normal</item>
          <item key="quartz.plugin.xml.type">Quartz.Plugin.Xml.JobInitializationPlugin, Quartz</item>
          <item key="quartz.plugin.xml.overwriteExistingJobs">true</item>
          <item key="quartz.plugin.xml.scanInterval">10</item>
        </quartz>
      </facility>
    </facilities>
</castle>

Note the use of the Startable Facility, it lets the Quartz scheduler start automatically.

Listeners¶

The facility also lets Windsor manage Quartz listeners. To do this you have to register your listeners as components, then reference them by component name in the facility configuration. Here's a sample facility configuration enhanced with several listeners:

<castle>
    <facilities>
      <facility id="quartznet">
        <globalJobListeners>
          <item>${globalJobListener}</item>
        </globalJobListeners>
        <globalTriggerListeners>
          <item>${globalTriggerListener}</item>
        </globalTriggerListeners>
        <schedulerListeners>
          <item>${sampleSchedulerListener}</item>
        </schedulerListeners>
        <jobListeners>
          <job name="hello-world">
            <listener>${sampleJobListener}</listener>
          </job>
        </jobListeners>
        <triggerListeners>
          <trigger name="sample-trigger">
            <listener>${sampleTriggerListener}</listener>
          </trigger>
        </triggerListeners>
        <quartz>
          <item key="quartz.scheduler.instanceName">XmlConfiguredInstance</item>
          <item key="quartz.threadPool.type">Quartz.Simpl.SimpleThreadPool, Quartz</item>
          <item key="quartz.threadPool.threadCount">5</item>
          <item key="quartz.threadPool.threadPriority">Normal</item>
          <item key="quartz.plugin.xml.type">Quartz.Plugin.Xml.JobInitializationPlugin, Quartz</item>
          <item key="quartz.plugin.xml.overwriteExistingJobs">true</item>
          <item key="quartz.plugin.xml.scanInterval">10</item>
        </quartz>
      </facility>
    </facilities>
</castle>

Note that to associate a listeners with a particular job or trigger, the Quartz job or trigger name is used, and not the job's component name.
