No sure here. The users I know best are happy with full Cron like functionality. > If Quartz does everything we want I'm +1 for adding it to > Cocoon.

As I've written in response to Brunos mail, Quartz doesn't offer Cron spec parsing so we have to do that in the cocoon space anyway. The concurrency utils (we already have a dependency of) does all we need to trigger execution (as Quartz does) so why adding another dependency. -- Giacomo Pati Otego AG, Switzerland - http://www.otego.com Orixo, the XML business alliance - http://www.orixo.com
