Am new to spring Scheduling. After some research i found that it can be done using cron expression. I have two questions to the forum.I need to schedule a task to run everyday at 8pm.. is the below cron expression schedule task at 8pm everyday?
@Scheduled(cron="0 0 20 * * ?")
For my testing purpose i scheduled a task to run every 5 minutes. And the expression used was
@Scheduled(cron="0 0/5 * * * *")
But i observed that above expression would fire my method every 5 minutes. And every 5 minutes my piece of code runs twice. I don't know why it is running twice every 5 minutes.
Below is my code
@Scheduled(cron="0 0/5 * * * *")
public void demo(){
counter++;
System.out.println("Method "+new Date()+" counter "+counter); }
output of the above code is :
Method Thu Nov 05 22:26:00 IST 2015 counter 1
Method Thu Nov 05 22:26:00 IST 2015 counter 2
My static variable counter says that this method is called twice every 5 minutes.
my spring.xml is as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
