Dynamically enable/disable spring scheduled method

gistfile1.txt

1) add TaskScheduler spring bean:

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.scheduling.TaskScheduler;
import org.springframework.scheduling.concurrent.ThreadPoolTaskScheduler;

@Configuration
public class AppConfig {

   @Bean
   public TaskScheduler threadPoolTaskScheduler() {
       return new ThreadPoolTaskScheduler();
   }
}

2) Autowire the TaskScheduler and use ScheduledFuture to enable and disable the scheduled method:

@Qualifier("threadPoolTaskScheduler")
@Autowired
private TaskScheduler taskScheduler;

@Value("${timeout.from.properties.file}")
private String fixedRate;

private ScheduledFuture<?> scheduledFuture;
public void initScheduling(){
 scheduledFuture = taskScheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(this::terminateScheduledMethod, Integer.valueOf(fixedRate));
}

public void terminateScheduledMethod() {
  if( /* Some condition for stopping schedule*/){
    scheduledFuture.cancel(true);
  }
}
