Question

Presently I have a code that has a java main method and which takes few command line args for its execution. I am in the process of making this as a quartz job, I would like to pass the arguments to this job.

Is there a way I can do it? I did some analysis on the JobDataMap but I am not sure if I can use it for this purpose.

Also, this job is going to be one time job that requires pause and continue kind of actions from the user. What kind of job should I extend or use for this case w.r.t quartz?

Thanks a bunch for your time.

Cheers,
Abi

Answer 1

First, yes JobDataMap is here to let you pass parameters to your job, no problem about using it for that purpose !

Second, the question is not which Job to extend (Job class must be sufficient) but more – which trigger to use ?
