Java Example: Dynamic Job Scheduling with Quartz

Spring 4 allows me to do this without any problem (Quartz 2.0) - spring-dispatcher-servlet.xml

<task:annotation-driven executor="myExecutor" scheduler="myScheduler"/>
<task:scheduler id="myScheduler" pool-size="10"/>
<task:executor id="myExecutor" pool-size="1"/>

Inject above created bean into Spring bean or Service Class

@Service
public class DynamicJobExample {

@Autowired
@Qualifier("myScheduler")
private TaskScheduler scheduler;

public void schedule() throws ParseException {
    scheduler.schedule(new MyTask(), new CronTrigger("5 * * * * ?"));
  }
}

MyTask Should be a Runnable Class

public class MyTask implements Runnable{

@Override
public void run() {
    System.out.println("Hey, you reached me...:)");
  }
}

Maven Dependencies are (pom.xml)

<spring.version>4.1.0.RELEASE</spring.version>

   <dependency>
        <groupId>org.quartz-scheduler</groupId>
        <artifactId>quartz</artifactId>
