Can someone advise on what I am doing wrong. I am trying to setup qurtz so that on startup it will read an xml config file. inside the file there is a job that activates my HelloEmail_Job.cs class (it is created correctly, extending IJob with the logic in the execute method). the xml also has a cron trigger for the job that will fire every minute (purely for testing)
but everything starts up without an error, but the job never fires. i am sure I am configuring wrong
I have a singleton that handles the generation of my scheduler, the schedular starts on startup of my app (in the global.asax file)
NameValueCollection properties = new NameValueCollection();
properties["quartz.scheduler.instanceName"] = "RemoteServer";
////// set thread pool info
properties["quartz.threadPool.type"] = "Quartz.Simpl.SimpleThreadPool, Quartz";
properties["quartz.threadPool.threadCount"] = "5";
properties["quartz.threadPool.threadPriority"] = "Normal";
properties["quartz.jobStore.type"] = "Quartz.Impl.AdoJobStore.JobStoreTX, Quartz";
properties["quartz.jobStore.useProperties"] = "true";
properties["quartz.jobStore.dataSource"] = "default";
properties["quartz.jobStore.tablePrefix"] = "QRTZ_";
properties["quartz.jobStore.lockHandler.type"] = "Quartz.Impl.AdoJobStore.UpdateLockRowSemaphore, Quartz";
properties["quartz.dataSource.default.connectionString"] = "Data Source=CRAIG-PC\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MCWdb;User ID=sa;Password=mastercrud;";
properties["quartz.dataSource.default.provider"] = "SqlServer-20";
// job initialization plugin handles our xml reading, without it defaults are used
properties["quartz.plugin.xml.type"] = "Quartz.Plugin.Xml.XMLSchedulingDataProcessorPlugin, Quartz";
properties["quartz.plugin.xml.fileNames"] = "~/quartz_jobs.xml";
ISchedulerFactory sf = new StdSchedulerFactory(properties);
_sched = sf.GetScheduler();
my quartz_jobs.xml file looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<job-scheduling-data xmlns="http://quartznet.sourceforge.net/JobSchedulingData"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<cron-expression>0 0/1 * 1/1 * ? *</cron-expression>
</cron>
</trigger>
</job>
</schedule>
</job-scheduling-data>
I know that the schedular is running correctly for ad hoc jobs with a simple trigger because when my app creates them and schedules them dynamically it works perfectly. but I want the logic made repeatable (through a cron), and configurable through a xml
my gut feeling is that the JOB_TYPE value is wrong.
Thanks
