MySchedule-2.0.0 released

The lastest myschedule-2.x release supports the latest Quartz 2.0 API. The Quartz 2.0 is not backward compatible to Quartz 1.8.x, so the MySchedule has matained the myschedule-1.x for the older one.

Becoming a Quartz commiter

I started my first commit to the Quartz's svn repository yesterday. I hope to contribute some effort in helping the project. I think the Quartz is an exellent open source project to work with and it's already been use by many users. The project offer many opportunities in dealing with real world situations. The quartz project has a scheduler layer, cron expression implementation, job persistence storage layer (using JDBC), and many framework components such as plugins and listeners. Many users have integrated Quartz in various environments such in standalone JavaSE, Spring, Servlet container (Tomcat eg), or application server (JBoss eg). In helping this community, I also get a chance to expose to these programming models. It will be great experience to have.

MySchedule-1.3.3 release

The Quartz Scheduler project is great to create any fancy and heavy duty scheduling tasks in Java project. One area it's missing is that the quartz library is very much targeted for developer, and there is not many user front end to allow end user to immediately exploring the scheduler system. This is the reason I created myschedule project. It's free, open source (Apache License 2.0) dashboard manager for Quartz. It's conveniently packaged as war file and you may deploy into any Servlet 2.5+ Web Container server to run it.

The myschedule-1.3.3 release let you manage multiple quartz schedulers on a single webapp, and you may create and delete the config right in the webapp. The myschedule will quickly let a end user to load and run jobs without doing any programming. But myschedule also comes with a Scripting tool that let power uses to schedule any jobs using Groovy programming language. The myschedule's job listing page and management of the UI has also greatly been improved since the first release.

So if you need Quartz or want any scheduling jobs, you should check it out. http://code.google.com/p/myschedule/downloads/list

MySchedule-1.0.0 ready to use

I have made MySchedule-1.0.0 ready to use.

MySchedule is an open source web application dashboard for Quartz scheduler. Get the war file here: http://code.google.com/p/myschedule/downloads/list

It doesn't look pretty at the moment, but for those who are looking for more Quartz examples, especially on how to use Spring and run Quartz in a Web Container environment, the MySchedule project should get you jump started quickly.

jQuery doesn't suport ajax over the file protocol

I was playing with jQueryUI today, and a simple example like this failed to update an page.

        $.get('data1.xml', function(data) {
            $('#main-panel').html(data)
        });

Running under Firefox4 locally on a PC (static local file protocols), I get errors like this inside Firebug:

Node cannot be inserted at the specified point in the hierarchy" code: "3

fragment.appendChild( ret[i] );  jquery.js (line 6134)

Turns out that this failure only occur when fetching local files because the same code works when deployed and run from a web server. Reading from a bug report here http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/7225 seems to indicate that jQuery AJAX doesn't support local file protocol.

Interestingly, an IE browser works with above code! And also the jQuery's load method like $('#main-panel').load('data1.xml'); works fine with local file!
