SimpleTimeBroker (Quartz Enterprise Job Scheduler 2.5.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.quartz.simpl.SimpleTimeBroker

All Implemented Interfaces:

TimeBroker
```
public class SimpleTimeBroker
extends java.lang.Object
implements TimeBroker
```
The interface to be implemented by classes that want to provide a mechanism by which the QuartzScheduler can reliably determine the current time.

In general, the default implementation of this interface (SimpleTimeBroker- which simply uses System.getCurrentTimeMillis() )is sufficient. However situations may exist where this default scheme is lacking in its robustness - especially when Quartz is used in a clustered configuration. For example, if one or more of the machines in the cluster has a system time that varies by more than a few seconds from the clocks on the other systems in the cluster, scheduling confusion will result.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`java.util.Date`	`getCurrentTime()`	Get the current time, simply using `new Date()`.
`void`	`initialize()`	Called by the QuartzScheduler before the `TimeBroker` is used, in order to give the it a chance to initialize.
`void`	`shutdown()`	Called by the QuartzScheduler to inform the `TimeBroker` that it should free up all of it's resources because the scheduler is shutting down.
