Spring Quartz does not understand Cron expression when dayOfweek is 2-6 and dayOfMonth is *

I am using Spring boot application and used spring-boot-starter-quartz.

I have a UNIX cron 0 15 * * 2-6 means run at 3pm on every Tuesday to Saturday. I converted this UNIX cron to Quartz cron 0 0 15 ? * 2-6 as I need to schedule job in Java using Quartz. We cannot have * as dayofMonth as it marks it as invalid cron so we need to mark dayOfMonth as ? and dayOfWeek as 2-6.

As of today, I try to find the nextRunDate of this job using quartz pattern using the below code CronExpression cronExpression = new CronExpression(quartzCronExpression); Date nextValidTimeAfter = cronExpression.getNextValidTimeAfter(new Date());

Output is : Mon Jun 10 15:00:00 CEST 2024 which is wrong as it should only run Tuesday to Saturday. Quartz does not seem to give no preference to dayOfMonth here.

Can someone help to get output as Tue Jun 11 15:00:00 CEST 2024 instead?
