Class CountSchedule

java.lang.Object
  org.oddjob.schedules.AbstractSchedule
      org.oddjob.schedules.schedules.CountSchedule

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, RefineableSchedule, Schedule

public final class CountSchedule
extends AbstractSchedule
implements Serializable

Description

This schedule returns up to count number of child schedules. It is typically used to count a number intervals for re-trying something.

If there is more than one count in a schedule a key must be provided to differentiate their internally store numbers, otherwise the count value would be shared.

If the nested schedule isn't specified it defaults to NowSchedule

Example

A schedule for 5 times at intervals of 15 minutes.

<schedules:count count="5" xmlns:schedules="http://rgordon.co.uk/oddjob/schedules">
    <refinement>
        <schedules:interval interval="00:15"/>
    </refinement>
</schedules:count>

Example

A schedule for 3 times each day at 5 minute intervals.

<schedules:daily xmlns:schedules="http://rgordon.co.uk/oddjob/schedules">
    <refinement>
        <schedules:time from="11:00">
            <refinement>
                <schedules:count count="3">
                    <refinement>
                        <schedules:interval interval="00:05"/>
                    </refinement>
                </schedules:count>
            </refinement>
        </schedules:time>
    </refinement>
</schedules:daily>

Example

Nested count schedules. This slightly contrived example would cause a timer to run a job twice at 1 minute intervals for 3 days. Note that we need a key on one of the schedules to differentiate them.

<schedules:count identifier="outer" count="6" xmlns:schedules="http://rgordon.co.uk/oddjob/schedules">
    <refinement>
        <schedules:daily from="11:00">
            <refinement>
                <schedules:count count="2">
                    <refinement>
                        <schedules:interval interval="00:01"/>
                    </refinement>
                </schedules:count>
            </refinement>
        </schedules:daily>
    </refinement>
</schedules:count>
