Quartz CronScheduleBuilder.atHourAndMinuteOnGivenDaysOfWeek don't working

I needing to use Quartz to execute a job. and when I try create a trigger on this mode :
Trigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.newTrigger().withIdentity(identityTRIGGER, "grupo 01") .withSchedule(CronScheduleBuilder.atHourAndMinuteOnGivenDaysOfWeek(11, 20, DateBuilder.THURSDAY)).build();
don´t fired at 11:20 on thursday.
I´ve tried to do (with cron expression):
Trigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.newTrigger().withIdentity(identityTRIGGER, "grupo 01").withSchedule(CronScheduleBuilder.cronSchedule("0 20 11 * * 5 *") ).build();
and don't work eigther- shows the following message:
Caused by: java.text.ParseException: Support for specifying both a day-of-week AND a day-of-month parameter is not implemented
**OBS: If I use another chron expression (like "0/10 * * * * ?") this work **
what´s wrong with my trigger ?
tnx advanced

To prevent exception "ParseException: Support for specifying both a day-of-week AND a day-of-month parameter is not implemented" do not use the * (all) value for day-of-month, but you could use ? (any) instead.
This is the strange implementation limitation of quartz.
So, you could use expression
0 20 11 ? * 5 *

Unable to generate the cron expression using cron-utils

I am using cron-utils jar for generating cron expression
0 0 8 ? 1/1 5#3 *
3rd Thursday of every month at 8 o' clock
Below is my code for above expression:
CronBuilder withMonth = CronBuilder.cron(
CronDefinitionBuilder.instanceDefinitionFor(CronType.QUARTZ)
).withYear(always()).withDoM(QuestionMark.questionMark())
.withMonth(on(3, SpecialChar.HASH));
withMonth.withDoW(on(5)).withHour(on(8)).withMinute(on(0)).withSecond(on(0));
Cron instance = withMonth.instance();
System.out.println(instance.asString());
But I'm getting the following exception:
value missing for a#b cron expression

finally found solution
.withDoW(on(NUM_DAY_WEEK,SpecialChar.HASH, NUM_DAY_MONTH);
it will generate like 5#3

Java Spring do scheduled task at a specific time of specific timezone

I'm developing a website with Spring and Hibernate (the website is about stock trading).
At about 12 AM everyday, I need to cancel all orders. Currently my solution is using a scheduled task that runs every hour:
<task:scheduled ref="ordersController" method="timeoutCancelAllOrders" fixed-delay="60*60*1000" />
Then in the method timeoutCancelAllOrders, I get the current time and check, if it's between 11PM and 12AM then do the task
The way I see it, task schedule starts when I start the Server ( I'm using Tomcat in Eclipse), but when I deploy it on an online hosting ( I'm using Openshift), I have no idea when is the starting time of task schedule.
My question is:
1: How to do it more automatic ? Is there anything like myTask.startAt(12AM) ?
2: I'm living in Vietnam but the server (Openshift) is located in US, so here's how I do the check :
Date currentTime = new Date();
DateFormat vnTime = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss MM/dd/yyyy ");
vnTime.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh"));
String vietnamCurrentTime = vnTime.format(currentTime);
String currentHourInVietnam = vietnamCurrentTime.substring(0, 2);
System.out.println(currentHourInVietnam);
if(currentHourInVietnam.equals("00")){
// DO MY TASK HERE
}
That looks stupid. How can I improve my code ?

Use a CRON specification:
<task:scheduled ref="beanC" method="methodC" cron="0 0 0 * * ?"/>
Run at midnight every day.
If you instead annotate your method, you can specify the time zone:
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 0 * * ?", zone="Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh")
public void methodC() {
// code
}

Spring Boot : execute a job at a particular Date entered by the user

Im trying to manage scheduled tasks using spring boot. I want to execute my job only one time at a particular date ( specified by the user ).
Here is my Job :
#Component
public class JobScheduler{
#Autowired
JobController controller;
// Retrieving the Date entered by the user
controller.getDateForExecution(); // 2016/05/24 10:00 for example
#Scheduled(???)
public void performJob() throws Exception {
controller.doSomething();
}
There are multiple options for Scheduled annotation such as fixedDelay, fixedRate, initialDelay, cron ... but none of these can accept a Date.
So, how can i execute my method at the specified Date dynamically ( ie depending on the Date insered ) ?
Ps : The method can be executed more than once if the user enter two or more Dates ..

Spring has the TaskScheduler abstraction that you can use: http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/scheduling.html#scheduling-task-scheduler
It has a method to schedule execution of a Runnable at a certain Date:
ScheduledFuture schedule(Runnable task, Date startTime);
A little off-topic maybe: If JobController is a Spring Controller (or RestController), I would not autowire it into the JobScheduler. I would inverse it and inject the JobScheduler into the JobController.

Ok I know this is a very old questions but for future references, here's the answer:
You can use cron property, which gives much more control over the scheduling of a task. It lets us define the seconds, minutes ,and hours the task runs at but can go even further and specify even the years that a task will run in.
Below is a breakdown of the components that build a cron expression.
Seconds can have values 0-59 or the special characters , - * / .
Minutes can have values 0-59 or the special characters , - * / .
Hours can have values 0-59 or the special characters , - * / .
Day of month can have values 1-31 or the special characters , - * ? / L W C .
Month can have values 1-12, JAN-DEC or the special characters , - * / .
Day of week can have values 1-7, SUN-SAT or the special characters , - * ? / L C # .
Year can be empty, have values 1970-2099 or the special characters , - * / .
Just for some extra clarity, I have combined the breakdown into an expression consisting of the field labels.
#Scheduled(cron = "[Seconds] [Minutes] [Hours] [Day of month] [Month] [Day of week] [Year]")

How to validate CronSequenceGenerator cron expressions?

How could I validate cron expressions that are prepared for use of CronSequenceGenerator?
I mean, I cannot wait until the cron executes automatically as I'm defining like monthly intervals.
Is the following correct? How can I be sure?
monthly at midnight: `0 0 0 1 * *`
monthly at 1 am: `0 0 1 1 * *`
weekly, on sunday at midnight: `0 0 0 * * SUN`

The Spring's CronSequenceGenerator
class has a method
isValidExpression(String expression)
which takes the cron expression and returns a boolean.

I guess if you are ok with quartz api then you should use org.quartz.CronExpression.isValidExpression(String s)
Api ref http://quartz-scheduler.org/api/2.2.0/org/quartz/CronExpression.html

Actually I prefer to directly use "new CronSequenceGenerator(cronExpression)" instead of the static method isValidExpression.
Doing the new directly gives you a java.lang.IllegalArgumentExpression with a message telling you where the problem lies.
Unfortunately "isValidExpression" chokes the exception and simply returns false.
