Scheduling workflow with spring

[rohitjain]

Hi,

I'm planning to use Activiti Engine in our application. But before starting, I wanted to understand what all ways activiti provides to schedule a workflow? As I read somewhere, Activiti on its own doesn't provide any scheduling option. So, are there options to use Spring schedulers, or cron tab may be to kick start the workflow, every day? I don't want to use Quartz Scheduler for this.

Activiti does have a mechanism to shedule workflows: http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnTimerStartEvent

Of course, you can still decide to use your own scheduler if you want to.
