Hello
In our OFBIz projects we often work with scheduled jobs. Since it is
often useful to view the logging output of a job, we created a mechanism
for writing this output to a file and making it accessable over the
OFBIz JobList. We extended the service-declaration with a parameter
called "own-logfile" with specifies the name of the logfile to use. When
a job is executed, a timestamp is appended to this filename to guarantee
unique filenames. We modified the class GenericServiceJob to register an
appender for the current thread if this property is set and unregister
it when the job is done. The name of the logfile is stored in JobSandbox
and is used to allow downloading the file from the JobList and for
deleting the logfile when the purgeOldJobs service runs. We would like
to contribute our code if others find this idea useful. If you have any
suggestions to improve our idea or to integrate it better with OFBIz,
please let us know.
Best regards
