Other than Quartz what other options or popular job scheduling tools are there?

Question

Other than quartz schedular, what are other popular job services in the Java world?

Ideally something that works well with Spring.

I am assuming Tomcat can handle this type of scheduling?

Answer 1

If you are using Spring 3.0, then the new task-scheduling namespace is pretty handy. The spring source blog has an article on the use of the new namespace.

Out of curiousity, why not Quartz? It has some really neat Spring integration too.

Answer 2

Also there are Timers in java, and there are commercial scheduler applications. But quartz is probably the best free/open source option, and Spring already has wrappers around it.
