Description
Martin Benda opened SPR-13604 and commented
Factory beans SimpleTriggerFactoryBean and CronTriggerFactoryBean throw NPE when their jobDetail property is not set. This makes it impossible to create triggers without associated job detail (something that we need in our application and that worked fine in Spring 3.x). Moreover, the jobDetail null check in afterPropertiesSet (SimpleTriggerFactoryBean:221) is useless, because jobDetail is dereferenced without any null checking later in this method.
Making it possible to create triggers without job detail will make these bean factories more flexible and should not break any current uses of these beans.
