Create a new scheduler in a Liferay hook

[Pepe Perez, modificado hace 11 años.]

Hi,

I need to create a new scheduler in Liferay 6.1.1 to execute a process every night at 3:00 AM, but I would like to do it in a new hook, not in a portlet. Please, is there any easy way to do this?

Thanks.

Regards.

Not in a hook, no. You could do it via an EXT, but not a hook.

Is there a reason that you don't want to create a portlet instead of a hook? You're essentially adding a new functionality. It's possible to hard code the 3:00 AM but it's really better to create a configuration page where admin can set the time.

Ok, if I do it with a portlet, is there any way to start the scheduler when Liferay is deployed?

Sorry if my question is kind of weird. I'm a beginner in this.

Thanks.

What do you mean "Liferay is deployed"? Are you deploying liferay war file? Can just deploy the portlet war after deploying liferay war file.

If you mean when liferay is started, don't see any problem with using portlet.

Hi,

Please check http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-portlet-app_6_2_0.dtd and examine scheduler-entry element. If you specify it you can set your own scheduler for your portlet with the scheduling as well:

<scheduler-entry>
	<scheduler-event-listener-class>com.mycompany.portlet.test.TestPortlet</scheduler-event-listener-class>
	<trigger>
		<cron>
			<cron-trigger-value>0 0/1 * 1/1 * ? *</cron-trigger-value>
		</cron>
	</trigger>
</scheduler-entry>

Vilmos
