I am interested in learning about work planning packages other than Quartz and Flux. Given the many web frameworks, I find it peculiar that in fact there is only one scheduler. Are there others that may not be as well known or popular?
SpringBatch : not a planning solution, but rather a batch job coordinator, etc.
How is Spring Batch different from Quartz? Is there a place for them as in the solution?
Spring Batch and quartz have different goals. The Spring Package provides functions for processing large amounts of data and Quartz provides functionality for planning tasks. Thus, quartz could complement the Spring package, but not exclude technology. A common combination would be to use Quartz as a trigger for Spring batch jobs using the Cron expression and the Spring kernel convenience scheduler FactoryBean.
