Oddjob 1.1 Released

Version 1.1. of Oddjob, the Open Source Task Automation Framework, is now available.

This release includes:

Support for providing a job as a Callable as well as a Runnable.

Here's a Callable:

import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
 
public class HelloBean implements Callable<Integer> {
 
    private String time;
 
    @Override
    public Integer call() throws Exception {
 
        System.out.println("Hello at " + time + ".");
 
        return 0;
    }
 
    public void setTime(String time) {
        this.time = time;
    }
 
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "My Callable";
    }
}

And here it is running in Oddjob:

The ability to Force a Failed Job to Complete.

If a job fails and you work around it manually you can now force that job to comlete so dependent jobs can be triggered.
