scheduling java methods to run on specific time in ofbiz using

is it possible to schedule methods to run on specific times in ofbiz? like jobs in databases?

i have been doing some reading on services in ofbiz and I came across the JobSandbox Entity aand ofbiz provides a very helpful GUI to setup the running of the jobs which I assume uses the JobSandbox Entity.

I just want to see if there is a reference or manual that would let me setup the service through code?

Solution

  • Yes, it is very easy to schedule a service through the code, please check this small snippet:

    long startTime = new java.util.Date().getTime(); 
 int frequency = RecurrenceRule.DAILY; 
 int interval = 1; 
 int count = 20; 
 LocalDispatcher dispatcher=dctx.getDispatcher(); 
 dispatcher.schedule("myService",_context, startTime, frequency, 
interval, count); 
         }catch (GenericServiceException e){ 
 Debug.logError("Error trying to Schedule My Service: " 
+ e.getMessage()); 
        }
