scheduler service and ecs DateSelector

[Jeffery Painter <pa...@kiasoft.com>]

Hi.. I'm working on playing with scheduler with my app.

I want to setup a mechanism for users to schedule email notifications to 
run overnight (when less likely to use all their bandwidth)

I want to give the user the ability to setup a one-time occurance and then 
have the job remove itself from the scheduler after it has completed.

anyone else done this type of thing?

the actual "job" code will not change so that object will be reusable. 

Second issue: having a small problem with DateSelector...

i have a field dateToSend ... ecsOutput is giving me 

 dateToSend_month
 dateToSend_day
 dateToSend_year

in my velocity page (generated from DateSelector class in the screen 
object)

This all works fine. I try to put in manually some variations of 
dateToSend_hour dateToSend_time etc... they don't work.

Where is the input received put back together to make dateToSend one piece 
of data, and with a "Time" of 00:00:00

It just seems to magically happen at this point in time.
If I knew where this was happening, maybe I could extend and 
write my own encapsulation for time (hour, min, sec etc.)

Thanks,

Jeff Painter

ok... so no response on scheduler. I dug a little harder... found 
job.setActive() should help me on running a job on demand

still wondering about the second part of my mail though... any ideas?
