[FIXED] Accessing scheduled tasks in Spring

Issue

I have a couple of tasks scheduled within Spring's task scheduler:

<task:scheduled-tasks>
    <task:scheduled ref="task1" method="run"
        cron="0 0 */0 * * *" />
    <task:scheduled ref="task2" method="run"
        cron="0 0 */30 * * *" />
</task:scheduled-tasks>

<task:scheduler id="scheduler" pool-size="10" />

How can I access a list of scheduled tasks and retrieve meta-information (e.g the next execution time) from within the application context?

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("context.xml");
ThreadPoolTaskScheduler scheduler = (ThreadPoolTaskScheduler)context.getBean("scheduler");
//... how to continue from here?

Solution

There is no public API in Spring to do this.
