QuartZ cron Expressions

Crontrigger

Crontriggers tend to be more useful than simpletrigger if you need a calendar-based concept, rather than simpletrigger a fully specified time interval, recurrence of the launch work schedule.
Crontrigger, you can specify a trigger schedule such as "Every Friday noon", or "every weekday 9:30", or even "every 5 minutes 9:00 and 10:00 per Monday a.m., Wednesday Friday".
Even so, like Simpletrigger, Crontrigger owns the starttime when the specified timesheet is in effect, and the specified timesheet should stop (optional) the end time.

Cron Expressions

The cron expression is used to configure the Crontrigger instance.

The cron expression is a string, which is actually a schedule of seven sub-expressions that describe individual details.

These sub-expressions are separate blanks, which represent:

1. Seconds
2. Minutes
3. Hours
4. day-of-month
5. Month
6. Day-of-week
7. Year ( optional field )

Example "0 0 12? * WED "at every Wednesday 12:00, individual sub-expressions can contain ranges;

For example, in the previous example ("WED") can be replaced by "Mon-fri", "MON, WED, FRI" or even "Mon-wed,sat". " * "represents the entire time period.

Each field has a set of valid values that can be specified, such as

Seconds (seconds)         : Can be expressed as the number 0------ Minutes          : Can be represented by the number 0-------  , Hours (time)            : You can use the number 0 -23,day-of-month  : You can use  any of the one by one values in the number 1-X, but pay attention to some special months month (month)            : You can use 0-  One or use  the string "JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, May, June, JUL,-of-week, SEP, OCT, NOV and DEC" meansDay (weekly): can be represented by the number 1-7 (
