How-To: Initializing a scheduler within a servlet container

There are two approaches for this…

Adding A Context/Container Listener To web.xml

...
     <context-param>
         <param-name>quartz:config-file</param-name>
         <param-value>/some/path/my_quartz.properties</param-value>
     </context-param>
     <context-param>
         <param-name>quartz:shutdown-on-unload</param-name>
         <param-value>true</param-value>
     </context-param>
     <context-param>
         <param-name>quartz:wait-on-shutdown</param-name>
         <param-value>false</param-value>
     </context-param>
     <context-param>
         <param-name>quartz:start-scheduler-on-load</param-name>
         <param-value>true</param-value>
     </context-param>
...
     <listener>
         <listener-class>
             org.quartz.ee.servlet.QuartzInitializerListener
         </listener-class>
     </listener>
...

Adding A Start-up Servlet To web.xml

...
	<servlet> 
	  <servlet-name>QuartzInitializer</servlet-name> 
	  <servlet-class>org.quartz.ee.servlet.QuartzInitializerServlet</servlet-class> 
	  <init-param>

	    <param-name>shutdown-on-unload</param-name>
	    <param-value>true</param-value>
	  </init-param>
	  <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>

	</servlet>
