Configuration of Quartz is typically done through the use of a properties file, in conjunction with the use of StdSchedulerFactory (which consumes the configuration file and instantiates a scheduler).

The properties for configuring various aspect of a scheduler are described in these sub-documents:

1. Main Configuration (configuration of primary scheduler settings, transactions)
2. Configuration of ThreadPool (tune resources for job execution)
3. Configuration of Listeners (your application can recieve notification of scheuled events)
4. Configuration of Plug-Ins (add functionality to your scheduler)
5. Configuration of RMI Server and Client (use a Quartz instance from a remote process)
6. Configuration of RAMJobStore (store jobs and triggers in memory)
7. Configuration of JDBC-JobStoreTX (store jobs and triggers in a database via JDBC)
8. Configuration of JDBC-JobStoreCMT (JDBC with JTA containter-managed transactions)
9. Configuration of DataSources (for use by the JDBC-JobStores)
10. Configuration of Clustering (achieve fail-over and load-balancing with JDBC-JobStore)
