Package com.silverpeas.scheduler Description

Defines a scheduling system with which Silverpeas components can schedule jobs at given moments in time and in a periodic way. The scheduling system delegates the actual scheduling tasks to an underlying scheduling backend; it encapsulates the implementation used for scheduling jobs and the way they are scheduled. Provides a Scheduler interface with which components schedules their jobs in time. The Scheduler represents a single entry point to the scheduling system and, whatever the Scheduler object is used, a job registered with one scheduler can be accessed by another one. The only way to get a scheduler is to use a SchedulerFactory instance that is built upon the actual scheduling backend.
