And in my quartz.properties, I've added configuration for plugins: as follows:

org.quartz.plugin.triggHistory.class = org.quartz.plugins.history.LoggingTriggerHistoryPlugin
org.quartz.plugin.triggHistory.triggerFiredMessage = Trigger {1}.{0} fired job {6}.{5} at: {4, date, HH:mm:ss MM/dd/yyyy}
org.quartz.plugin.triggHistory.triggerCompleteMessage = Trigger {1}.{0} completed firing job {6}.{5} at {4, date, HH:mm:ss MM/dd/yyyy} with resulting trigger instruction code: {9}

org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.class = org.quartz.plugins.xml.JobInitializationPlugin
org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.fileName = \myjob.xml
org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.overWriteExistingJobs = false
org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.failOnFileNotFound = true

org.quartz.plugin.shutdownhook.class = org.quartz.plugins.management.ShutdownHookPlugin
org.quartz.plugin.shutdownhook.cleanShutdown = true

I can successfully build and deploy this simple web app. But nothing happens, nor did I get any error messages. I have a few questions:

1. Must I store both the quartz.properties file and myjob.xml under /WEB-INF/classes?

2. Is my declaration for "org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.fileName" field in my quartz.properties correct? (If the path is in point 1)

3. Is it correct that I must give the full path to my send mail Java class under <job-class>net.uu.za.Quartz.TestJob</job-class>
in myjob.xml?

4. If my settings and paths are correct, the scheduler should be able to read the job and the trigger,and then send email in the background, correct?

If my info is too vague, please kindly let me know. Also, if you could point me to any tips on debugging this, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
