Abstract

A method and a system for job scheduling in application servers. A common metadata of a job is deployed, the job being a deployable software component. An additional metadata of the job is further deployed. A scheduler task based on the additional metadata of the job is created, wherein the task is associated with a starting condition. The scheduler task is started at an occurrence of the starting condition, and, responsive to this an execution of an instance of the job is invoked asynchronously.
