I have successfully configured our app to export Quartz's MBeans into JMX and can view everything in JConsole. I can run the majority of the scheduler operations.
The one I really want to run is 'triggerJob', but that is showing up in JConsole as greyed-out/disabled so I can't run it.
I've scanned the commits that added the JMX code to Quartz but can't see any differences between triggerJob and the other operations that are enabled.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?
EDIT - explanation found
A different StackOverflow issue describes what's going on: Why are some methods on the JConsole disabled
triggerJob (and two other operations) take non-primitive parameters, these complex parameters cannot be provided in JConsole.
I am not clear if the MBean provider might provide a custom editor for JConsole (or simlar), but at least I have my answer.
