Quartz Scheduler: How to pass custom objects as JobParameter?

Question

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 obj

Answer 1

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.
