Quartz - WebWork

The following class performs the glue between Quartz and WebWork:

package com.trantek.sit.action;

import com.opensymphony.xwork.ActionProxy;
import com.opensymphony.xwork.ActionProxyFactory;
import com.opensymphony.xwork.interceptor.component.ComponentInterceptor;
import org.quartz.Job;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionException;
import java.util.HashMap;

public class WebWorkJob implements Job
{
    public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException
    {
        try
        {
            HashMap ctx = new HashMap();
            ctx.put(ActionContext.PARAMETERS, context.getJobDetail().getJobDataMap());
            ctx.put(ComponentInterceptor.COMPONENT_MANAGER, ???);
            ctx.put(???, ???)
            ServletDispatcher.createContextMap()
            ActionProxy proxy = ActionProxyFactory.getFactory().
                    createActionProxy("", context.getJobDetail().getName(), ctx);

            proxy.execute();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            throw new JobExecutionException(e);
        }
    }
}

To schedule webwork actions you simply create a job where

the name of your job is the name of the WW action to execute (no ".action" suffix).
all the parameters you want to send to the WW action is contained in the JobDataMap of the JobDetail

(the Quartz scheduler is setup as a servlet according to the javadocs of org.quartz.ee.servlet.QuartzInitializerServlet.)

The following code schedules an e-mail action:

Scheduler scheduler = StdSchedulerFactory.getDefaultScheduler();

JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail("email.send", 
                                     scheduler.DEFAULT_GROUP, WebWorkJob.class);

Map m = jobDetail.getJobDataMap();
m.put("to", "me@bogusdomain.com");
m.put("subject", "quartz test");
m.put("body", "This is a quartz test, Hey ho");
m.put("smtpServer", "smtp.bogusdomain.com");
m.put("from", "quartz@bogusdomain.com");

SimpleTrigger trigger = new SimpleTrigger("myTrigger", 
                                          scheduler.DEFAULT_GROUP, 
                                          new Date(), null, 0, 0L);

scheduler.deleteJob("email.send", scheduler.DEFAULT_GROUP);
scheduler.scheduleJob(jobDetail, trigger);

This example is based on WW1:Integrating Webwork and Quartz
