Spring scheduled tasks not firing

Question

I'm teaching myself Spring, currently on scheduled tasks, and the following code does not fire the scheduled task.

I believe it has something to do with the way I'm setting up the Spring context but that's only a guess - I'm trying to learn Spring so please excuse the ridiculous while loop.

Application.java:

package hello;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext rootContext =
                        new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();

        rootContext.register(RootContextConfiguration.class);
        rootContext.refresh();

        while(rootContext != null) {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(2500);
            } catch(InterruptedException ex) {
                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
            }

            System.out.println("Loop\n");
        }

        rootContext.close();
    }
}

RootContextConfiguration.java:

package hello;

import java.util.concurrent.Executor;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.AdviceMode;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.core.Ordered;
import org.springframework.scheduling.TaskScheduler;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.AsyncConfigurer;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableAsync;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableScheduling;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.SchedulingConfigurer;
import org.springframework.scheduling.concurrent.ThreadPoolTaskScheduler;
import org.springframework.scheduling.config.ScheduledTaskRegistrar;

@Configuration
@EnableScheduling
@EnableAsync(
        mode = AdviceMode.PROXY, proxyTargetClass = false,
        order = Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE
)
@ComponentScan(
        basePackages = "hello"
)
public class RootContextConfiguration implements
AsyncConfigurer, SchedulingConfigurer {
    @Bean
    public ThreadPoolTaskScheduler taskScheduler()
    {
        ThreadPoolTaskScheduler scheduler = new ThreadPoolTaskScheduler();
        scheduler.setPoolSize(20);
        scheduler.setThreadNamePrefix("task-");
        scheduler.setAwaitTerminationSeconds(60);
        scheduler.setWaitForTasksToCompleteOnShutdown(true);
        return scheduler;
    }

    @Override
    public Executor getAsyncExecutor()
    {
        Executor executor = this.taskScheduler();
        return executor;
    }

    @Override
    public void configureTasks(ScheduledTaskRegistrar registrar)
    {
        TaskScheduler scheduler = this.taskScheduler();
        registrar.setTaskScheduler(scheduler);
    }
}

ScheduledTasks.java:

package hello;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableScheduling;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.Scheduled;

@EnableScheduling
public class ScheduledTasks {

    private static final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

    @Scheduled(fixedRate = 5000)
    public void reportCurrentTime() {
        System.out.println("The time is now " + dateFormat.format(new Date()));
    }
}

To be clear, the sleeping for 2.5s and print "Loop" is just there to keep the application running to see if the scheduled tasks fire.

What I'm looking for is the scheduled task which prints the time to fire. It does not.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Answer 1

You don't have a ScheduledTasks bean. Annotate your class with @Component (or any of its specializations) or declare a @Bean method for it in your @Configuration class.

@EnableScheduling belongs on a @Configuration class, not on the class which has the scheduled behavior. You can remove it from ScheduledTasks.
