Batch Applications for the Java Platform (JSR 352) vs. EJB Timer Service

[Paulo Cesar Dias Lima]

Batch Applications for the Java Platform (JSR 352) vs. EJB Timer Service (java.ejb.Schedule or java.ejb.Schedules annotations.)
I would like to know if is there some recommendation regards the possibility to integration between EJB Timer Service that needs to start a Batch Applications.

Other concern is about if it possible to check the status of execution (running, finished, wait) before EJB timer invokes a Batch process.

Is it possible to Batch process invoke (call back) a EJB method or post a JMS message when finished ?

I checked that JobExecution interface provides methods check status, but I not found a way to notify or register a listener for job conclusion.

Regards,

Paulo Lima.

Hi Paulo,

You can monitor a Job status through a JobListener, please check the following page and look for "The Listener Batch Artifacts" section.
http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/doc/batch-processing008.htm#BCGJHEHJ
API: http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/batch/api/listener/JobListener.html

On the afterJob method you can post the JMS message or whatever needed.

Cheers
