Quartz + mysql confused..

Question

Hey guys,
I just start to use quartz yesterday. and i got a problem here.
i followed the other people's post to construct quartz.properties as this:
# Configure Main Scheduler Properties
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = TestScheduler
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceId = one
# Configure ThreadPool
org.quartz.threadPool.class = org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 5
org.quartz.threadPool.threadPriority = 4
# Configure JobStore
org.quartz.jobStore.misfireThreshold = 5000
org.quartz.jobStore.class = org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.JobStoreTX
org.quartz.jobStore.driverDelegateClass = org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.StdJDBCDelegate
org.quartz.jobStore.dataSource = myDS
org.quartz.jobStore.tablePrefix = QRTZ_
# Configure Datasources
org.quartz.dataSource.myDS.driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
org.quartz.dataSource.myDS.URL = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sitemapper
org.quartz.dataSource.myDS.user = root
org.quartz.dataSource.myDS.password = root
org.quartz.dataSource.myDS.maxConnections 5
the quartz tables are created by quartz's tables_mysql.sql. i can see those tables are good in mysql db server.
my testing job will be very easy, just make it display "hello" every second every day.
and here is the code:
package test;
import org.quartz.*;
public class QuartzReport implements Job
public void execute(JobExecutionContext cntxt) throws JobExecutionException
System.out.println("Hello"
+ cntxt.getJobDetail().getJobDataMap().get("type"));
public static void main(String[] args)
try
SchedulerFactory schedFact = new org.quartz.impl.StdSchedulerFactory();
Scheduler sched = schedFact.getScheduler();
sched.start();
JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail("Income Report",
"Report Generation", QuartzReport.class);
jobDetail.getJobDataMap().put("type", "FULL");
CronTrigger trigger = new CronTrigger("Income Report",
"Report Generation");
trigger.setCronExpression("* * * * * ?");
sched.scheduleJob(jobDetail, trigger);
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
but how can i add this frequency and job in the database out there?? i am confused. please help me. many thanks!

Hi JbloodH,
You are on the way.
I beleive you have configured your 'Quartz.properties' file properly.
Now your next step should be Just run your Job and Quartz will automatically manage your database for you. As soon as you start your 'Scheduler', you find one row inserted into both 'qrtz_triggers' and 'qrtz_job_details'
Hope this may helpful to you.
