Hi,

I would like to handle my job execution On/Off, then I read framework
code such as play.jobs.JobsPlugin, play.libs.Time and so on.
I knew it is able to handle job schedule over application.conf as
Calimoucho do, set string start with prefix "cron".

I tried to set "cron.interval=0min" for turn off job execution, of
course it was annotated "@Every("cron.interval")".
But I was caught by Exception from
java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor becauce it was
prohibited to set 0 value to delay variable.

Is there another way? Or Is it scheduled on Playframework's road map
to handle Job execution On/Off over application.conf?

Thanks,
ikeike443

I think that it would be better than @Cron and @Every support the '0'
or 'never' value. If you can patch the JobsPlugin in the 1.1 branch to
do that, I will integrate it for the next release.

Hi, Guillaume

Sorry to send back too late, because I've got involved in a kind of
trouble shooting on my day-job.... ;-)

Anyway, I wrote a tiny patch for play-1.1 JobsPlugin as below link.
http://gist.github.com/547537

I was not sure why the statement "if(value.startsWith("cron."))..."
was eliminated from @Every section in afterApplicationStart method,
but not from @On section in scheduleForCRON method, I added the
statement onto @Every section.

But, I wonder it is better to eliminate the statement from @On section
than that.
I think play.libs.Expression suggest it is better.. and using "$
{cron.something}" value is rather better too.

Do you think?

And also I want to take a patch for play-1.0.x as below.

Thanks,
