Create a Custom Scheduled Job

From OpenCms Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

A scheduled job is a bit of code that is run on a regular basis by OpenCms. You can create custom scheduled jobs by creating a java class that implements I_CmsScheduledJob. OpenCms itself comes with some classes that do so, like CmsPublishJob.

Then you add your Java class to OpenCms. You can either create a jar file, or a class file. Then you add them to your OpenCms installation - your options are on the Adding_Jar_Files page.

Follows an example of a JSP that gets its parameters from request and does the scheduling, found at this Nabble thread [1]:

<%@page import="org.opencms.main.*, org.opencms.scheduler.*, org.opencms.file.*, org.opencms.jsp.*, java.util.* "%>
 
<%
CmsScheduledJobInfo csji = new CmsScheduledJobInfo();
CmsScheduleManager csm = OpenCms.getScheduleManager();
CmsJspBean cjb = new CmsJspBean();
 
cjb.init(pageContext,request,response);
 
CmsObject cmsObj = cjb.getCmsObject();
CmsContextInfo cci = new CmsContextInfo(cjb.getRequestContext());
 
csji.setCronExpression("0 0/1 * * * ?");
csji.setClassName("org.opencms.business.services.NewsLetterCmsScheduledJob");
 
csji.setActive(true);
csji.setContextInfo(cci);
csji.setJobName("boletin");
 
SortedMap parametros = new TreeMap();
parametros.put("request",request);
parametros.put("response",response);
 
csji.setParameters(parametros);
csm.initialize(cmsObj);
 
csm.scheduleJob(cmsObj,csji);
