We learned this week what this error message meant for us:
org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.JobStoreTX.recoverMisfiredJobs [] Handling 1 trigger(s) that missed their scheduled fire-time.
This was happening because we had more jobs configured to run at certain time than we had threads configured to run.
We changed the spring servlet configuration file to specify more threads and more datasource connections.

We have not seen the error since we have made these changes.
It also means that we will have to increase the number of thread as we have more bean scheduled with Quartz.
