Quartz: How to reload jobs and triggers with org.quartz.plugins.xml.XMLSchedulingDataProcessorPlugin?

I want to use quartz in my small and simple web application. (Quartz 2.1.6 and tomcat 7.0.22). I want to change trigger cron expression without restart my application. I put jobs in xml file `quartz-jobs.xml` and set up `XMLSchedulingDataProcessorPlugin` in `quartz.properties` Problem: when i change content of `quartz-jobs.xml`, quartz deceted file was changed and reload it, delete and create new job. I see it in log file. But content of this file is old (the same as it will on startup). So i have in filesystem new version of `quartz-jobs.xml`, but quartz takes somewhere old version of that file. Filesystem is plain ext4 with default setings. So, how to refresh quartz jobs and triggers from xml file? Here is my configuration: quartz.properties: ``` org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = SMSScheduler org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 1 org.quartz.jobStore.class = org.quartz.simpl.RAMJobStore org.quartz.scheduler.skipUpdateCheck=true org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.class = org.quartz.plugins.xml.XMLSchedulingDataProcessorPlugin org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.fileNames = quartz-jobs.xml org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.failOnFileNotFound = true org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.scanInterval = 30 org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.wrapInUserTransaction = false ``` quartz-jobs.xml ``` <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <job-scheduling-data xmlns="http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/xml/JobSchedulingData" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/xml/JobSchedulingData http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/xml/job_scheduling_data_1_8.xsd" version="1.8"> <pre-processing-commands> <delete-jobs-in-group>REPORT_GROUP</delete-jobs-in-group> <delete-triggers-in-group>REPORT_TRIGGER_GROUP</delete-triggers-in-group> </pre-processing-commands> <schedule> <job> <name>report-job</name> <group>REPORT_GROUP</group> <description>Create report</description> <job-class>com.company.quartz.ReportJob</job-class> </job> <trigger> <cron> <name>every-day-trigger</name> <group>REPORT_TRIGGER_GROUP</group> <job-name>report-job</job-name> <job-group>REPORT_GROUP</job-group> <!-- trigger every minute --> <cron-expression>0 * * * * ?</cron-expression> </cron> </trigger> </schedule> </job-scheduling-data> ``` ReportJob.java ``` package com.company.quartz; import org.quartz.Job; import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext; import org.quartz.JobExecutionException; public class ReportJob implements Job { @Override public void execute(JobExecutionContext jobExecutionContext) throws JobExecutionException { System.out.println("test!"); } } ``` logs, where you can see check intervals and running job: ``` 2012-11-22 11:47:20,169 INFO [pool-2-thread-1] [QuartzInitializerListener.java:contextInitialized:147] Quartz Initializer Servlet loaded, initializing Scheduler... 2012-11-22 11:47:20,223 INFO [pool-2-thread-1] [StdSchedulerFactory.java:instantiate:1157] Using default implementation for ThreadExecutor 2012-11-22 11:47:20,261 INFO [pool-2-thread-1] [SchedulerSignalerImpl.java:<init>:61] Initialized Scheduler Signaller of type: class org.quartz.core.SchedulerSignalerImpl 2012-11-22 11:47:20,261 INFO [pool-2-thread-1] [QuartzScheduler.java:<init>:243] Quartz Scheduler v.2.1.6 created. 2012-11-22 11:47:20,263 INFO [pool-2-thread-1] [XMLSchedulingDataProcessorPlugin.java:initialize:202] Registering Quartz Job Initialization Plug-in. 2012-11-22 11:47:20,264 INFO [pool-2-thread-1] [RAMJobStore.java:initialize:154] RAMJobStore initialized. 2012-11-22 11:47:20,266 INFO [pool-2-thread-1] [QuartzScheduler.java:initialize:268] Scheduler meta-data: Quartz Scheduler (v2.1.6) 'SMSScheduler' with instanceId 'NON_CLUSTERED' Scheduler class: 'org.quartz.core.QuartzScheduler' - running locally.
