Constructor Detail

CronTrigger

public CronTrigger(java.lang.String expression)

Build a CronTrigger from the pattern provided in the default time zone.

Parameters:

expression - a space-separated list of time fields, following cron expression conventions

CronTrigger

public CronTrigger(java.lang.String expression,
                   java.util.TimeZone timeZone)

Build a CronTrigger from the pattern provided in the given time zone.

Parameters:

expression - a space-separated list of time fields, following cron expression conventions

timeZone - a time zone in which the trigger times will be generated

Method Detail

getExpression

public java.lang.String getExpression()

Return the cron pattern that this trigger has been built with.

nextExecutionTime

public java.util.Date nextExecutionTime(TriggerContext triggerContext)

Determine the next execution time according to the given trigger context.

Next execution times are calculated based on the completion time of the previous execution; therefore, overlapping executions won't occur.

Specified by:

nextExecutionTime in interface Trigger

Parameters:

triggerContext - context object encapsulating last execution times and last completion time

Returns:

the next execution time as defined by the trigger, or null if the trigger won't fire anymore
