Is there a way to access the job@id as a property in the JSL

[richardmoore]

I want to use the job id value in my JSL as a property in one of my steps. Is that accessible?

In principle, any attribute in job xml can be substituted with dynamic value. But since job id is such a fundamental attribute and so you usually want it to be a static value.

For example, you can try:

<job id="#{jobParameters['myJobName']}?:job1;"

then the rest of your job xml can reference the same jobParameters['myJobName'] as the job id.  If this job param is not passed in, then the default job id job1 is used and will not be accessible.

Or you can add a redundant job-level batch property:

<job id="job1">

   <property name="jobName" value="job1"/>

it can be accessible thru #{jobProperties['jobName']}
