Should I create a Class path job locator ?

[stephenbute]

My case is that I am using a MDB to call the JobLauncher to launch jobs.

And I want to separate the MDB , the JobLauncher config with the jobs config.

And the jobs config folder is set in the MDB descriptor (ejb-jar.xml) .

User may dynamic upload the job definition config into that folder. The job locator will be aware of the change of that folder.

By all this, I want to deploy new job without restarting the MDB.

It seems the current MapJobRegistry and ReferenceJobFactory can not fulfill my requirement.

So should I create a class path job locator to load the jobs config ? Any suggestion from Spring ?

Am I wrong ?

thanks in advance.

You are right. The samples contain a ClasspathXmlApplicationContextJobFactory for this purpose (promoted to core in 1.1).
