Retrieving JobExecution Status on RuntimeException

[fgarsombke]

If I am launching a job:

try {
JobExecution je = launcher.run(job, jp);
} catch (Throwable t) {
// my job execution is null...
}

and a RuntimeException is thrown the JobExecution is null since the launcher did not return successfully.

How do I access the 'real' job execution metadata from the failed job?

Thanks

You can launch the job asynchronously by injecting a TaskExecutor in the job launcher. Then you have the job execution immediately.

Hi Franz,

I have stumbled on the same problem, as you posted here. Can you tell me if you solved it by using an asynchronous TaskExecutor ? Can you post a couple of lines of code / config on how you did it ?

Are there any drawback to choosing this solution ?
