What is wrong with my Quartz cron expression? 6:30 Am, 9 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM

I want my cron job to run exactly at the below times. I am using Java, Spring, and Quartz.

6:30 Am, 9 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM

I tried below, not sure if its correct. Please let me know if this is correct:

0 30,0,0 6,9,12 * *

Here's my Spring XML snippet:

<bean id="test" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean"> 
    <property name="jobDetail"> 
        <ref  bean="testjob"/> 
    </property> 
    <property name="cronExpression"> 
        <value>0 30,0,0 6,9,12 * * ?</value> 
    </property> 
</bean>

I would suggest you create these as 2 separate crons, one for the half past the hour ones and one for the on the hour ones.

so for 6:30 Am, 9 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM create the following two...

0 30 6 * * ?

and 

0 0 9,12,14 * * ?

Just to be sure you understand, you will need to create a second CronTriggerBean with the second cronExpression but you can reuse the job. The initial cron you tried would not work; you will need two cron expressions however you look at it.
