Class Trigger

java.lang.Object

org.quartz.Trigger

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable

Direct Known Subclasses:

CronTrigger, DateIntervalTrigger, NthIncludedDayTrigger, SimpleTrigger

public abstract class Trigger
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable

The base abstract class to be extended by all Triggers.

Triggers s have a name and group associated with them, which should uniquely identify them within a single Scheduler.

Triggers are the 'mechanism' by which Job s are scheduled. Many Trigger s can point to the same Job, but a single Trigger can only point to one Job.

Triggers can 'send' parameters/data to Jobs by placing contents into the JobDataMap on the Trigger.

triggered

public abstract void triggered(Calendar calendar)

This method should not be used by the Quartz client.

Called when the Scheduler has decided to 'fire' the trigger (execute the associated Job), in order to give the Trigger a chance to update itself for its next triggering (if any).

See Also:

executionComplete(JobExecutionContext, JobExecutionException)

computeFirstFireTime

public abstract java.util.Date computeFirstFireTime(Calendar calendar)

This method should not be used by the Quartz client.

Called by the scheduler at the time a Trigger is first added to the scheduler, in order to have the Trigger compute its first fire time, based on any associated calendar.

After this method has been called, getNextFireTime() should return a valid answer.

Returns:

the first time at which the Trigger will be fired by the scheduler, which is also the same value getNextFireTime() will return (until after the first firing of the Trigger).

executionComplete

public abstract int executionComplete(JobExecutionContext context,
                    JobExecutionException result)

This method should not be used by the Quartz client.

Called after the Scheduler has executed the JobDetail associated with the Trigger in order to get the final instruction code from the trigger.

Parameters:

context - is the JobExecutionContext that was used by the Job'sexecute(xx) method.

result - is the JobExecutionException thrown by the Job, if any (may be null).

Returns:

one of the Trigger.INSTRUCTION_XXX constants.

See Also:

INSTRUCTION_NOOP, INSTRUCTION_RE_EXECUTE_JOB, INSTRUCTION_DELETE_TRIGGER, INSTRUCTION_SET_TRIGGER_COMPLETE, triggered(Calendar)

mayFireAgain

public abstract boolean mayFireAgain()

Used by the Scheduler to determine whether or not it is possible for this Trigger to fire again.

If the returned value is false then the Scheduler may remove the Trigger from the JobStore.

getStartTime

public abstract java.util.Date getStartTime()

Get the time at which the Trigger should occur.

setStartTime

public abstract void setStartTime(java.util.Date startTime)

The time at which the trigger's scheduling should start. May or may not be the first actual fire time of the trigger, depending upon the type of trigger and the settings of the other properties of the trigger. However the first actual first time will not be before this date.

Setting a value in the past may cause a new trigger to compute a first fire time that is in the past, which may cause an immediate misfire of the trigger.

setEndTime

public abstract void setEndTime(java.util.Date endTime)

getEndTime

public abstract java.util.Date getEndTime()

Get the time at which the Trigger should quit repeating - even if an assigned 'repeatCount' isn't yet satisfied.

See Also:

getFinalFireTime()

getNextFireTime

public abstract java.util.Date getNextFireTime()

Returns the next time at which the Trigger is scheduled to fire. If the trigger will not fire again, null will be returned. Note that the time returned can possibly be in the past, if the time that was computed for the trigger to next fire has already arrived, but the scheduler has not yet been able to fire the trigger (which would likely be due to lack of resources e.g. threads).

The value returned is not guaranteed to be valid until after the Trigger has been added to the scheduler.

See Also:

TriggerUtils.computeFireTimesBetween(Trigger, Calendar, Date, Date)

getPreviousFireTime

public abstract java.util.Date getPreviousFireTime()

Returns the previous time at which the Trigger fired. If the trigger has not yet fired, null will be returned.

getFireTimeAfter

public abstract java.util.Date getFireTimeAfter(java.util.Date afterTime)

Returns the next time at which the Trigger will fire, after the given time. If the trigger will not fire after the given time, null will be returned.

getFinalFireTime

public abstract java.util.Date getFinalFireTime()

Returns the last time at which the Trigger will fire, if the Trigger will repeat indefinitely, null will be returned.

Note that the return time *may* be in the past.

setMisfireInstruction

public void setMisfireInstruction(int misfireInstruction)

Set the instruction the Scheduler should be given for handling misfire situations for this Trigger- the concrete Trigger type that you are using will have defined a set of additional MISFIRE_INSTRUCTION_XXX constants that may be passed to this method.

If not explicitly set, the default value is MISFIRE_INSTRUCTION_SMART_POLICY.
