Is it possible to kill a current running Quartz Job?
quartz-scheduler
Solution
As you told, there is no way to interrupt "brutally" a job in quartz, neither in JAVA.
You can encapsulate your job's logic in a separate Thread and run it with the ExecutorService.
Take a look to this example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2275596/1517816
Assume your QuartzJob is the Test class and move your business logic in the Task class.
Hope it helps
Problem
I remember that we cannot kill the current running Quartz Job but we can interrupt and have a boolean check wherever is necessary whether we need to proceed further with the subsequent operations or not. Even when we implement the `InterruptableJob` and call the `scheduler.interrupt` to interrupt the Job, the current executed job will be still running in the server. Ex: - A named SQL query has been triggered by the job via Hibernate which takes a long time - A call has been made to a third party server where the third party server takes a long time to respond http://neopatel.blogspot.in/2011/05/quartz-stop-job.html http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/3191.page Could someone corrects my understanding and explain me how we can kill or stop the "currently" executing Job ?
