Cron expression to run only on Monday

Question

I am using quartz expressions to create a trigger that should execute only on Mondays and the day of month should not be 1.

I already know that 0 5 0 2-31 * MON expression doesn't work because Specifying both a day-of-week and a day-of-month parameter is not implemented. Is there any workaround for this issue? How can I achieve this?

To summarize, if 1st day of month is Monday, the above expression should not be executed but for other Mondays of the month, it should be executed.

Answer 1

As support for specifying both a day-of-week AND a day-of-month parameter is not implemented, You can try with this:

@Scheduled(cron = "0 5 0 ? * MON")
private void doTask(){
    if(LocalDate.now().getDayOfMonth() != 1){
        //your code here
    }
}
