Interface SchedulerPlugin

All Known Implementing Classes:
JobInitializationPlugin, JobInitializationPluginMultiple, LoggingJobHistoryPlugin, LoggingTriggerHistoryPlugin, ShutdownHookPlugin

public interface SchedulerPlugin

Provides an interface for a class to become a "plugin" to Quartz.

Plugins can do virtually anything you wish, though the most interesting ones will obviously interact with the scheduler in some way - either actively: by invoking actions on the scheduler, or passively: by being a JobListener, TriggerListener, and/or SchedulerListener.

If you use StdSchedulerFactory to initialize your Scheduler, it can also create and initialize your plugins - look at the configuration docs for details.

Method Summary
 void initialize(String name, Scheduler scheduler)
           Called during creation of the Scheduler in order to give the SchedulerPlugin a chance to initialize.
 void shutdown()
           Called in order to inform the SchedulerPlugin that it should free up all of it's resources because the scheduler is shutting down.
 void start()
           Called when the associated Scheduler is started, in order to let the plug-in know it can now make calls into the scheduler if it needs to.
