Quartz Scheduler Error when Instantiating Job

Question

I am trying to use Quartz 2.1.1 with Spring 3.0.5.

I set up the Scheduler with this line: <bean id="scheduler" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean"/>

I wrote a simple class called TestJob that implements the Job interface. I am able to successfully set up a job and trigger and schedule it. The problem is that when the job is triggered and quartz tries to instantiate the TestJob class, I am getting this error:

[scheduler_QuartzSchedulerThread] ERROR core.ErrorLogger.schedulerError(2360) | An error occured instantiating job to be
 executed. job= 'TEST_JOB.6d2e7ca2-20cd-4e5f-9f32-1626c7128a5d'

Any ideas on how to get around this issue?

Could you show the code of your TestJob class? And also the scheduling of your job? — Alexis Dufrenoy

Quartz 2 and Spring < 3.1 are incompatible. So you can either update to Spring 3.1 or downgrade to Quartz 1.8. Or you drop the Spring Quartz adapters and use Quartz 2 by hand. I recommend the very first method.
