JobExecutionListener

[vishalj]

why cant the listener be usual bean in application context .
something like

<listener ref="someBean"...

[DHGarrette]

It can. It's just called <job-listener/>. There's also a <step-listener/>.

[vishalj]

How do i configure it in context defination

[vishalj]

I configured it this way but not sure this is the only way

<beans:bean id="listener" class="com.abc.batch.listener.MyJobListener">
	<beans:property name="mailClient"  ref="mailClient" />
</beans:bean>

<job-listener id="jobListener" ref="listener" />

<listeners>
	<listener ref="jobListener"/>
</listeners>

[DHGarrette]

I don't understand what you're trying to do with it...

[vishalj]

Am trying to create a listner bean for the job
instead of using <listener class=... I am trying to use same bean

[DHGarrette]

You can do this:

<job>
    ...
    <listeners>
        <listener ref="myJobListener"/>
        ...
    </listeners>
</job>

<beans:bean id="myJobListener" class="com.abc.batch.listener.MyJobListener">
    <beans:property name="mailClient"  ref="mailClient" />
</beans:bean>

Is that what you want?

[vishalj]

yes, Thanks but how do i register several listeners for a job then

[DHGarrette]

sorry, i updated it to fix the mistake i had. You can reference multiple listeners, all of which can be defined externally.
