classcastexception while working with quartz + spring

I was trying to integrate Quartz to Spring and while everything seemed OK I got the following exception:

view source

print?

1	java.lang.ClassCastException: org.quartz.impl.StdScheduler

I had everything in hand for the simple job I implemented to work.

A simple Job class that implements QuartzJobBean:

view source

print?

1	public class Job extends QuartzJobBean{

2

3	protected void executeInternal(JobExecutionContext jobExecutionContext) throws JobExecutionException {

4	System.out.println("working!");

5

}

6

}

The necessary spring context:

view source

print?

01	<!-- A JobDetailBean with property as my Job-->

02

03	<bean name="exampleJob" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDetailBean">

04	<property name="jobClass" value="job.Job">

05	</property></bean>

06

07	<!--A trigger with JobDetail and other necessary properties-->

08

09	<bean id="simpleTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SimpleTriggerBean">

10	<!-- see the example of method invoking job above -->

11	<property name="jobDetail" ref="exampleJob">

12	<!-- 10 seconds -->

13	<property name="startDelay" value="10000">

14	<!-- repeat every 50 seconds -->

15	<property name="repeatInterval" value="50000">

16	</property></property></property></bean>

17

18	<!--And a Scheduler for working with triggers (and corresponding jobdetails)-->

19

20	<bean id="scheduler" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">

21	<property name="autoStartup" value="false">

22	<property name="triggers">

23

<list>

24	<ref bean="simpleTrigger">

25	</ref></list>

26	</property>

27	</property></bean>

All I had to do is instantiate the bean with getBean() but I was getting "java.lang.ClassCastException: org.quartz.impl.StdScheduler" everytime. My code for instantiating the SchedulerFactoryBean was below:

view source

print?

1	SchedulerFactoryBean d = (SchedulerFactoryBean) appCon.getBean("scheduler");

I was trying to downcast to a wrong class. It seemed quite straightforward to use SchedulerFactoryBean but it was wrong. As the exception said I changed it to StdScheduler (of Quartz) and I fixed it.
Here's the correct form:

view source

print?

1	StdScheduler d = (StdScheduler) appCon.getBean("scheduler");

I hope that easy solution will be helpful for somebody out there.
