Quartz Manager is a Java library you can import in your Spring-Based Web Application to run scheduled jobs, start&stop them and get the job outcomes. You can do it through HTTP calls against the Quartz Manager API or in a visual manner through the Quartz Manager UI dashboard.

UI DASHBOARD

The Quartz Manager UI is a single-page-application provided by the Quartz Manager Java library itself. It leverages the websockets to receive in real-time the trigger updates and the outcomes of the job executions.

API

Quart-Manager exposes REST controllers which are documented by an OpenAPI Specification.

HOW IT WORKS

Quartz Manager can either coexist with your existing instance of Quartz or it can import itself the Quartz dependency.

In the first case, Quartz Manager is compatible with Quartz v2.3.x . Quartz Manager creates and configures its own instance of Quartz Scheduler and it manages only the jobs and the triggers created through it. Your other jobs and triggers, running in the existing quartz instance, are out of the scope of Quartz Manager.

In the latter case, in which there isn't an existing quartz instance, you can rely on Quartz Manager to speed up the setup of a Quartz instance, with a persistent storage also if you need it. Futhermore, if you start a bare project from scratch, just to run scheduled jobs, Quartz Manager comes with the option to enable a security layer to protect the API and the UI with an authentication model based on JWT.

FEATURES

You can schedule a Quartz Simple Trigger which allows you to start a job now or in a specific date-time, to set it as a recurring job with a certain time frequency, unlimited or limited on the number of fires and within a certain end date.
You can start, pause and resume the quartz scheduler via API or clicking the start/stop buttons at the UI console.
Leveraging on an active web-socket, the Quartz-Manager-UI updates in real time the progress bar and it displays the list of the latest logs produced by your quartz job.
You can enable a secure layer, if your project doesn't have any, to give access at the API and the UI only to authenticated users.
You can enable a persistent layer, to persist the config and the progress of your trigger, in a postgresql database.

QUICK START

Requirements Java 9+, Spring Framework 5+ (Spring Boot 2.x)

Quart Manager is a modular library:

quartz-manager-starter-api (mandatory)
quartz-manager-starter-ui (optional)
quartz-manager-starter-security (optional)
quartz-manager-starter-persistence (optional)

In order to decrease the overall configuration time for the project, all modules of the library follow the approach of Spring Starters. Thus, it's enough to import the dependency to get started.

Below the list of the quartz-manager modules you can import.

Quartz Manager API Lib

This is the only mandatory module of the library.
Add the dependency, make eligible for Quart Manager the job classes and set the props in your application.properties file.

Step 1. Dependency

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>it.fabioformosa.quartz-manager</groupId>
  <artifactId>quartz-manager-starter-api</artifactId>
  <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

implementation group: 'it.fabioformosa.quartz-manager', name: 'quartz-manager-starter-api', version: '4.0.0'

Step 2. Quartz Manager Job Classes

The job classes, which can be eligible for triggers managed by Quartz Manager, must extend the super-class AbstractLoggingJob. In this way, Quartz Manager is able to collect and display the outcomes at the UI console.

public class SampleJob extends AbstractLoggingJob {

   @Override
   public LogRecord doIt(JobExecutionContext jobExecutionContext) {
       ... do stuff ...
       return new LogRecord(LogType.INFO, "Hello from QuartManagerDemo!");
   }

}

Step 3. Quartz Manager API - App Props

Property	Values	Mandatory	Default	Description
quartz-manager.jobClassPackages	string	Yes		java base package which contains your job classes
quartz-manager.oas.enabled	boolean	No	false	whether to create an OpenAPI instance to expose the OAS and the Swagger UI

REST API & OAS

Set the app prop quartz-manager.oas.enabled=true you want to expose the OpenApi Specification of the Quartz Manager APIs. Reach out the swagger-ui at the URL: http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html

If your project has already an OpenAPI instance and you've set quartz-manager.oas.enabled=true, then make sure to add an OpenApiGroup to group the API of your application. Quart Manager exposes its API in group called "Quartz Manager".

QUARTZ SETTINGS

Quartz Manager creates its own instance of a Quartz Scheduler. You can customize the configuration of the Quartz managed by Quartz Manager creating a file managed-quartz.properties in the classpath (src/main/resources). For further details about the quartz properties, click here. By default, the managed quartz instance is instantiated with the following props:

org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName=quartz-manager-scheduler
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount=1

Quartz Manager UI Lib

You can optionally import the following dependency to have the UI Dashboard to interact with the Quartz Manager API.

Dependency

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>it.fabioformosa.quartz-manager</groupId>
  <artifactId>quartz-manager-starter-ui</artifactId>
  <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

implementation group: 'it.fabioformosa.quartz-manager', name: 'quartz-manager-starter-ui', version: '4.0.0'

Reach out the UI Console at URL

http://localhost:8080/quartz-manager-ui/index.html

Quartz Manager Security Lib

Import this optional dependency, if you want enable a security layer and allow the access to the REST API and to the UI only to authenticated users

Dependency

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>it.fabioformosa.quartz-manager</groupId>
  <artifactId>quartz-manager-starter-security</artifactId>
  <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

compile group: 'it.fabioformosa.quartz-manager', name: 'quartz-manager-starter-security', version: '4.0.0'

Quartz Manager Security Lib - App Props

Property	Values	Mandatory	Default	Description
quartz-manager.security.jwt.secret	string			Secret to sign the JWT Token
quartz-manager.security.jwt.expiration-in-sec	number	no	28800
quartz-manager.security.accounts.in-memory.enabled	boolean	no	true
quartz-manager.security.accounts.in-memory.users[0].username	string	yes
quartz-manager.security.accounts.in-memory.users[0].password	string	yes
quartz-manager.security.accounts.in-memory.users[0].roles[0]	string	yes		set the value ADMIN

and in your application.yml:

quartz-manager:
  security:
    login-model:
      form-login-enabled: true
      userpwd-filter-enabled : false
    jwt:
      enabled: true
      secret: "PLEASE_TYPE_HERE_A_SECRET"
      expiration-in-sec: 28800  # 8 hours
      header-strategy:
        enabled: false
        header: "Authorization"
      cookie-strategy:
        enabled: true
        cookie: AUTH-TOKEN
  accounts:
    in-memory:
      enabled: true
      users:
        - name: admin
          password: admin
          roles:
            - ADMIN

Quart Manager Persistence

If you don't want to lose your scheduler config and the progress of your trigger, when you stop&start your webapp, you have to enable a security layer which persists data on a postgresql database. The quartz-manager-persistence-module needs a postgresql datasource to create its tables. To import the quartz-manager-persistence-module, please add the following dependency:

MAVEN

<dependency>
  <groupId>it.fabioformosa.quartz-manager</groupId>
  <artifactId>quartz-manager-starter-persistence</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>

GRADLE

compile group: 'it.fabioformosa.quartz-manager', name: 'quartz-manager-starter-persistence', version: '3.1.0'

and in your application.yml:

quartz-manager:
  persistence:
    quartz:
      datasource:
        url: "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/quartzmanager"
        user: "quartzmanager"
        password: "quartzmanager"

DEMO

Take a loot to the project Quartz-Manager Demo, it is an example of how-to:

import the quartz-manager-api library in your webapp
include the quartz-manager frontend (angular based) through a webjar
set properties into the application.yml
add a secure layer to allow the API only to logged users
schedule a custom job (a dummy hello world)

LIMITATIONS

Initially Quartz-Manager was born like a pet-project to start&monitor a repetitive job. Now there's a work-in-progress roadmap to convert it in full-fledged library to manager a Quartz Scheduler.
At the moment, these are the limitations:

You cannot start multiple triggers or multiple jobs.
You can start only a simple trigger based on a daily frequency and a max number of occurencies.
You cannot start/stop a trigger, but the entire scheduler.

Take a look a the Project Roadmap and feel free to open an issue or add a commment on an existing one, to give your feedback about planned enhancements. Your opinion is important to understand the priority.

ROADMAP

Open the Project Roadmap to take a look at the plan of Quartz Manager.

Next steps in the roadmap are:

Give to change to import quartz-manager in projects which have already imported Quartz Scheduler
Manage multiple triggers and jobs
Redesign the API and re-styling the UI
to add a complete setup UI panel for quartz, in term of cronjobs and multiple jobs.
Enabling adapters for integrations: kafka, etc.
