Spring batch admin manager loads the job files from war's classpath:/META-INF/spring/batch/jobs/ directory.
I'd like to put my job xml files in c:\ or some other external location.
Is it possible in batch admin manager to override/customize the directory location to an external location?
I found the answer after clearly reading the spring batch admin user guide. Override the 'jobloader' bean in execution-context.xml.
To be precise, create a context file named 'execution-context.xml' and declare your customized options for the bean named 'jobloader'. This overrides the configuration for this particular named bean in the bootstrap/execution-context.xml. Refer spring batch admin user guide for more details.
