Complete example to poll for job files

[rvanamb]

Hi I am new to Spring Batch. I have a working Spring Batch Admin deployment (spring-batch-admin-sample-1.0.0.M3) on Glassfish utilizing Spring Security, H2 database. I would like to define a directory that is polled for job files while the application is running and adds new jobs to the admin web interface (JobRegistry) but I can not find a complete example showing this feature. I will run these jobs later in other code.

I figure this should not be too complex, prob just a matter of configuring my application-context.xml.

Thanks in Advance!

looks like there is a build in job file polling feature. I tried adding C:\glassfishv3\glassfish\domains\domain1\applicati ons\spring-batch-admin-sample-1.0.0.M3\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\spring\batch\override\jobFilePolling.xml
(shown below) but this did not work as jobs are not picked up.
