In this post we’ll walk through the creation of a custom Quartz.Net JobFactory that uses dependency injection to pass dependencies to our jobs. We’ll be using Castle Windsor for this example, but you can use any dependency injection framework you want. We discussed the Qartz.Net IJobFactory interface in detail previously, so read that first if you haven’t yet.
Continue ReadingIn an earlier post we covered what Quartz.Net job factories are and what they’re used for. We also went over the job factories that are included in the Quartz.Net distribution. For this post we’ll cover how to configure the Quartz.Net scheduler so that it uses the job factory we want.
Continue ReadingIn my previous post we talked about the IJobFactory interface in detail. Today we will look at the 2 job factories that are included in the Quartz.Net distribution. SimpleJobFactory We will look at the SimpleJobFacotry first, since it is the base class used by the other job factory. This is a pretty simple implementation, so let’s look at the source code and talk about it in detail.
Continue ReadingThe Quartz.Net scheduler implements the factory method pattern to create the jobs that will be executed. Job factories are responsible for producing job instances. When you download the Quartz.Net distribution you get 2 different job factories. Today we will look at the IJobFactory interface in detail. In a later post we’ll look at the job factories that are included in the Quartz.
Continue ReadingQuartz.Net supports quite a few different database providers. This information is embedded inside the Quartz.dll file, but I think it is useful to have it handy. I’ve created a table with the names of all the (as of now) supported database providers. If you would like the full details on the providers, take a look at the dbproviders.
Continue ReadingI’ve finished proofreading the Getting Started section of the Quartz.Net eBook. It is available for download from the downloads page. You can download it either in PDF or Word format. Those of you that signed up using the Quartz.Net eBook form should have received an email with direct links to the files.
Continue ReadingFor a few months now I have been working on a Quartz.Net eBook. So far I have managed to write a total of 40 pages, out of which about 15 make up the Getting Started section. This section is almost complete. I am reviewing it and will make it available for free on this blog as soon as it has been cleaned up.
Continue ReadingNow that SQL Compact 4.0 is out, you might want to use it to as your Quartz.Net job store. Here is how to set up a Quartz.Net 2.0 scheduler with a SQL Compact 4.0 database. PrerequisitesFirst, you will need to download the SQL Compact 4.0 runtime and install it on the same box that will run the Quartz.
Continue ReadingIt’s possible to have multiple instances of Quartz.Net on one machine. This is especially useful if you want to run an instance of Quartz.Net 2.0 alongside an existing Quartz.Net 1.0 instance. However, you can install 2 (or more) instances of Quartz.Net 2.0 on the same box if that’s what you want.
Continue ReadingNow that there is an official beta release of Quartz.Net 2, I thought it would be a good idea to go through the installation process and describe it step by step. Before we get started I’d like to point out that this post was written using Windows 7, so the screenshots may not match exactly what you see if you are on a different version.
