ERROR org.quartz.core.JobRunShell - Job group1.JobReport threw an unhandled Exception - quartz-scheduler

Question

There is a strange problem when generating the report using QUARTZ scheduler
I can generate a report fine! no problem.
the method (reportsBean) works normally, but there is a problem when passing through quartz
Any idea please?? I don't know what to do anymore :/

Answer 1

The Problem is that you have a NullPointerException in your ReportsBean.
Since the signature of the Quartz execute method is
public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException
Quartz can only deal with JobExecutionException's that will be thrown within this method. But in your case it gets an unexpected NullPointerException.
To solve this Problem you should remove the cause of the NullPointer.
From the sourcecode above I couldnt figure out the cause of this exception since it occurs within your ReportsBean.
Certainly your method ReportsBean.createPdfCriticalChanges trys to access an uninitialized member.

Answer 2

at the line 104:
String report FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath("/web/reports/criticalcr.jrxml");
Remember: it's working out of quartz.
ReportsBean
public void createPdfCriticalChanges() throws JRException,SQLException {
System.out.println("generating report...");
String report = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath("/web/reports/criticalcr.jrxml");
JasperReport pathjrxml = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(report);
//JasperReport pathjrxml = JasperCompileManager.compileReport("web/reports/criticalcr.jrxml"); //Funciona com o inicia Agenda em XML "web/reports/changetracker_criticalcr.jrxml"
JasperPrint printReport = JasperFillManager.fillReport(pathjrxml, null, conn.getConn());
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(printReport, "/web/reports/changetracker_criticalcr.pdf"); //Funciona com o inicia Agenda em XML "web/reports/criticalcr.pdf"
System.out.println("report generated!");
}

Answer 3

it's not throws JobExecutionExceptionnb use #postController and #override method init

Answer 4

I had same issue, I solved by putting time greater than current time in table that stores next_fire_time. then restart the server.

Answer 5

ReportsBean is not able to create an object on this place. If it's a Spring application please use #Autowired annotations to fix this issue:
#Autowired
ReportsBean reportsBean;
Then use call reportsBean.yourMethod();.

Answer 6

I fix this problem by creating a Lookup Utils, job was like this :
public class LimpezaColetaDadosPessoaJob implements Job {
#Override
public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException {
try {
this.executar();
} catch (final BusinessException e) {
} catch (final Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void executar() throws NamingException {
final ColetorDadosPessoasIntegracaoService service = LookupUtils
.lookup(ColetorDadosPessoasIntegracaoService.class);
service.executarLimpezaDaTabela();
}
}
