Why isn't Spring running my @Scheduled method?

add "task:annotation-driven" ?

<beans> <!-- XMLNS, XSD declarations omitted for brevity -->

  <context:component-scan base-package="com.mypackage"/>
  <task:annotation-driven/>
  <task:executor id="executor" pool-size="5"/>
  <task:scheduler id="scheduler" pool-size="5"/>
  <task:annotation-driven scheduler="scheduler" executor="executor"/>

</beans>

reference http://howtodoinjava.com/2013/04/23/4-ways-to-schedule-tasks-in-spring-3-scheduled-example/

or

Spring @Configuration (non-xml configuration) for annotation-driven tasks

Just add @EnableScheduling on you WebMvcConfig class

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@EnableAsync
@EnableScheduling
public class WebMvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
   /** Annotations config Stuff ... **/
}

reference Spring Scheduler does not work


So...it looks like there's a problem in Spring 3.0.x (at the very least 3.0.4 and 3.0.5) having to do with discovering @Scheduled annotations on AOP proxies. I've got a pointcut declaration wrapping the @Scheduled method with transactional advice, and that seems to be the root of the problem. If I remove the advice, the job runs. If I add it back in, Spring fails to find and create a task for my annotated method.

So, I'm going to go file a bug with the Spring folks, and in the meantime I'm stuck declaring my tasks manually.


In spite of that I am using Spring 3.1.2, I am running into the same problem in case i place my executor and scheduler tag in ApplicationContext.xml. i have two xml configuration file for spring in my project which are :

  1. applicationContext.xml
  2. dispatcher-servlet.xml

So try to move your configuration to the last configuration file which spring reads. in my case it is start working by moving my configuration to dispatcher-servlet.xml

here is my example:

applicationContext.xml
