Accessing JobExecution in Validator

[josephbalane]

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to get the current executing instance of the JobExecution from a validator (i.e. Validator extends DefaultJobParametersValidator)? If so, can you guys help me out by citing some examples?

I would like to access the JobExecution from the Context; so that whenever an exception is thrown during the validation process of the JobParameters. (i.e. JobParametersInvalidException), a specific exit code is returned to the scheduler (shell script).

I am currently using a class that implements the ExitCodeMapper to define my own exit codes and status code.

Thanks!

JobParameters are usually validated before the JobExecution is created. What is it you need from there?
