public class Job extends CommonItem implements Transactional, Subtypable
This class represents the execution of a job. Normally a job is executed by a plugin, but it can also be executed by an external program. To find the type of the job check the getJobType() method. Many of the methods in this class only apply to jobs of one of the types. The following methods can only be used on jobs that are executed by a plugin: The following methods can only be used by jobs executed by an external program:

      Returns:
      TRUE if a signal transporter is registered, FALSE otherwise
      Since:
      2.6

    • getSignalTransporter

      public SignalTransporter getSignalTransporter()
      Create and initialise a signal transporter object that can be used to send signal to the plug-in running this job.

      Note 1! Depending on the transport mechanism used, it is not certain that the created transporter can actually send the signal. For example, some transporters only work if the plug-in is running in the same virtual machine, while others supports sending signals to other JVM:s on the same or a different computer.

      Note 2! The returned transporter will delay the Signal.ABORT signal until DbControl.commit() is called and will only send the signal if the transaction is completed succesfully. If the transaction fails or is rolled back the signal is not sent. Other signals are sent immediately.

      Note 3! This method always returns the same transporter instance if it is called multiple times.

      Note 4! If the signal transporter is a ExtensionSignalTransporter the extension point is "net.sf.basedb.core.signal.job". The client context is populated with a SessionControl and the current item is this Job. The information in the job should be considered read-only, if the signal handler wants to update information it must create a new DbControl from the session control and re-load the job.

      Returns:
      An initialised signal transporter object, or null if no signal transporter has been registered
      Since:
      2.6

    • requestStatusUpdate

      public boolean requestStatusUpdate()
      Request that the underlying job updates the status information about itself. This method is intended to be used for external jobs that are not BASE plug-ins (which can report progress through the plug-in API). This method sends a Signal.STATUS signal to the SignalTransporter that has been registered for the job. If there is no signal transporter this method does nothing. The signal transporter should deliver the signal as quickly as possible and then return. The actual progress update may take place at a later time when it is convenient to do so for the job.
      Returns:
      TRUE if a Signal.STATUS could be sent, FALSE if not
      Since:
      3.3

    • getEnded
