By default if there are no seam.quartz.properties then Seam will use quartz.properties which is located inside quartz.jar. You use seam.quartz.properties if you want to override quartz.properties and you must provide this inside WEB-INF/classes inside you application. This is not provided by default if you generate your apps using seam-gen, so you have to edit build.xml yourself in order seam.quartz.properties to be copied to WEB-INF/classes View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4119933#...
