Issue

  • A task scheduler component extending BaseMessageListener works correctly when deployed to Liferay.
  • When the server is rebooted, though, the task is not registered and it won't be executed.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4, 7.3

Resolution

  • A task scheduler usually makes use of a TriggerFactory and SchedulerEngineHelper to define the task and register it. 
  • To ensure that all dependencies are available at start time, make sure to use @Reference to TriggerFactory and SchedulerEngineHelper, instead of using TriggerFactoryUtil and SchedulerEngineHelperUtil.
