Quartz Scheduler: How to pass custom objects as JobParameter?

I am planning to write a ASP.NET page to trigger the job on demand. Currently, I am using SimpleTrigger class to trigger the job but none of the __Trigger class supports object type as value in JobParameters and it has come to my knowledge that WCF Tcp binding is used under the hook to pass the parameters to job scheduling engine. I would like to know how to pass custom object (serializ开发者_开发百科able) as job parameters. Thanks for your advice!

There are two ways to pass an object that can be retrieved when a Quartz job executes:

Pass the instance in the data map. When you set the job up, add your instance to the map with a key like this:

// Create job etc...
var MyClass _myInstance;
statusJob.JobDataMap.Put("myKey", _myInstance);
// Schedule job...

Retrieve the instance in the job's Execute() method like this:

public void Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
        {
            var dataMap = context.MergedJobDataMap;
            var myInstance = (MyClass)dataMap["myKey"];

OR

Add the instance to the scheduler context when you set the job up, like this:

  ISchedulerFactory schedFact = new StdSchedulerFactory();
  _sched = schedFact.GetScheduler();
  _sched.Start();
  // Create job etc...
  var MyClass _myInstance;
  _sched.Context.Put("myKey", myInstance);
  // Schedule job...

Retrieve the instance in the job's Execute() method like this:

public void Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
        {
            var schedulerContext = context.Scheduler.Context;
            var myInstance = (MyClass)schedulerContext.Get("myKey");

I was having unexpected results with hillstuk's answer above in multithreaded environments. Here's my solution using Newtonsoft… Enjoy

public void InitJob() {

    MyClass data = new MyClass {Foo = “Foo fighters”}; 

    /* a unique identifier for demonstration purposes.. Use your own concoction here. */
    int uniqueIdentifier = new Random().Next(int.MinValue, int.MaxValue); 

    IJobDetail newJob = JobBuilder.Create<MyAwesomeJob>()
    .UsingJobData("JobData", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data))
    .WithIdentity($"job-{uniqueIdentifier}", "main")                
    .Build();

}

/* the execute method */
public class MyAwesomeJob : IJob
{
    public void Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
    {                   
        var jobData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyClass>(context.JobDetail.JobDataMap.GetString("JobData"));    
    }
}

/* for completeness */
public class MyClass {
    string Foo { get; set; } 
}

When you schedule a job you can set a JobDataMap on the JobDetail object and pass this to your scheduler, there are some limitations described in the quartz.net tutorial. The job can access the data via:

JobDataMap dataMap = context.JobDetail.JobDataMap;

However I prefer to access my job configuration, via an repository injected into the job.

You can put your instance/object in the IJobDetail.

 JobDataMap m = new JobDataMap();
  m.Put("Class1", new Class1(){name="xxx"});


  IJobDetail job = JobBuilder.Create<Job>()
            .WithIdentity("myJob", "group1")
            .UsingJobData(m)//class object
            .UsingJobData("name2", "Hello World!")
            .Build();

usage

  public void Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
        {
 JobDataMap dataMap = context.JobDetail.JobDataMap;
            Class1 class1 = (Class1)dataMap.Get("Class1");
string x = class1.name;
}

I passed the object following way

JobDetail job1 = JobBuilder.newJob(JobAutomation.class)
                .usingJobData("path", path)
                .withIdentity("job2", "group2").build();

        CronTrigger trigger1 = TriggerBuilder.newTrigger()
                .withIdentity("cronTrigger2", "group2")
                .withSchedule(CronScheduleBuilder.cronSchedule("40 27 11 * * ?"))
                .build();

get jobdatamap by following lines of code

JobDataMap dataMap = context.getJobDetail().getJobDataMap();
String path =dataMap.getString("path");
