[ Is the list working ? ]


Expresso Job Control

"For technical information about how to use Job Control, please refer to the

Expresso Developers Guide (EDG) or the Javadocs."

I found this documentation a little inadequate. Admittedly this is first
time I looked at Expresso Job control in detail. I remember the EDG circa
Expresso 2.2/3.0 covered this in detail, I think. So I wonder what
happened to the original documentation.


In Michael Nash documentation as it is know he shows a creation of a
JobQueue
but does not show the relationships.

Where is the Job example (com/jcorporate/expresso/utils/TestJob)?

(For example I assume the `com/jcorporate/expresso/utils/TestJob' has to
implement a Java interface but which one? It is not clear at all.
Some code would help)

Can I add this code template and stick it inside a DBObject or Controller?

What happens when you create a JobQueue?

Where is my Job then after submission?

(I assume you can see it in the Admin / Operations screens afterwards)

How can I start the job manually ?

How can I stop the job manually?

How can I pass parameters to the Job and how can the Job pass parameters
back?

Send any documents and sentences to me and I will incorporate them
into text files that can be uploaded.

Ta.
