How do I set up a Spring Quartz job on a method marked as @Transactional?

Question

I’m using Spring 3.2.11.RELEASE and Quartz 1.8.5. I’m trying to set up a Quartz job to execute a method on a class marked as @Transactional. Below is the interface …

public interface MyDataService
{
    …
    void downloadAndProcessMyDataMatchedFiles();

and here is the implementing class …

@Service("MyDataService")
@Transactional
public class MyDataServiceImpl extends AbstractCleverUserService implements MyDataService
{
    …
    @Override
    public void downloadAndProcessMyDataMatchedFiles()
    {
    …

I have this set up in my dispatcher-servlet.xml file …

<bean id="processMatchedDatasFileJob"
    class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
    <property name="targetObject" ref="MyDataService" />
    <property name="targetMethod" value="downloadAndProcessMyDataMatchedFile" />
    <property name="concurrent" value="false" />
</bean>

<bean id="processMatchedDatasCronTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
    <property name="jobDetail" ref="processMatchedDatasFileJob" />
    <property name="cronExpression" value="${process.matched.students.schedule}" />
</bean>

However, I get this error …

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'processMatchedDatasFileJob' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy530.downloadAndProcessMyDataMatchedFile()

Any ideas how to get my Quartz job working with the least amount of effort as possible?

Answer 1

The method name is not spelled correctly, please change the

<property name="targetMethod" value="downloadAndProcessMyDataMatchedFile"/>

into

<property name="targetMethod" value="downloadAndProcessMyDataMatchedFiles"/>
