Even though it is way to late i like to answer the question for other users.

Your CronExpression is invalid. You can check this here or here. The problem is: You cannot specify a day_of_month AND a day_of_week.

Cause you are setting a day_of_week you should skip day_of_month with a "?". Solution should be:
0 0 0/2 ? * WED *
