Migrating from Spring 3 to Spring 4 - org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean

Question

I'm trying to migrate from spring 3.0.5 to spring 4.1.X .

Spring 3 has Class named as "org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean"

But Spring 4 doesn't include this class name.

[5/28/15 20:10:16:798 EDT] 00000092 ClassPathXmlA W org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext __refresh Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean] for bean with name 'beanIdName' defined in class path resource [config/spring/WxsCacheContext.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.resolveBeanClass(AbstractBeanFactory.java:1328)

I have tried alternative like "spring-support" which has the same class. But no luck.

After getting that jar, it is giving errors about the quartz

[5/28/15 15:37:02:665 EDT] 0000006e SystemOut O ERROR (?:?) - java.lang.Exception: Bean from SpringUtils.getSpringBean(hostnameVerifierSetter) error message: Unable to initialize group definition.

From Spring 3.1+, Change the Class names for the CronTriggerFactoryBean & JobDetailFactoryBean as like below

   org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean 
                               org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerFactoryBean
   org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDetailBean
                               org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDetailFactoryBean

So your steps are:

Change

CronTriggerBean to CronTriggerFactoryBean
JobDetailBean to JobDetailFactoryBean
