Using Quartz with J2EE

The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) defines the standards for developing component-based enterprise applications. Whether you are inclined to use one of the open source J2EE servers, such as JBoss or Geronimo, or whether you prefer the comfort and safety of commercial support with ones such as WebSphere and WebLogic, Quartz can be used in several different deployment arrangements with all of them. This chapter demonstrates the various strategies for deploying Quartz with a J2EE application server and increasing the richness of J2EE with the Quartz framework.
