JobParametersBuilder - No add new int parameter

I was looking for a method that will add an int variable/parameter under JobParametersBuilder class but it seems this is not available. May I know the reason why there is no method to add an int parameter? Although I know there is work around on this one - convert string to int.

Up..
Need some response.

Thanks

JobParameter : Domain representation of a parameter to a batch job. Only the following types can be parameters: String, Long, Date, and Double.
Thats why the builder don't provide int method.

Thanks for the reply ticono.

"Domain representation of a parameter to a batch job" What does it mean? Please elaborate.

If that is the case, how will you add an int paramater aside from the work around that I had mentioned.

each job and its parameters are persisted in the Spring Batch Infrastructure tables, see e.g. the DB2 table definition

Code:

---

CREATE TABLE BATCH_JOB_PARAMS  (
        JOB_INSTANCE_ID BIGINT NOT NULL ,
        TYPE_CD VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL ,
        KEY_NAME VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL ,
        STRING_VAL VARCHAR(250) ,
        DATE_VAL TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NULL ,
        LONG_VAL BIGINT ,
        DOUBLE_VAL DOUBLE PRECISION ,
        constraint JOB_INST_PARAMS_FK foreign key (JOB_INSTANCE_ID)
        references BATCH_JOB_INSTANCE(JOB_INSTANCE_ID)
) ;

there is no int (SMALLINT / INTEGER in db2) defined

if you need it, pls create a JIRA Feature Request
