How to control Java batch exit status

Question

I am trying to improve exit information for some JSR-352 batch job. So far I use Wildfly (and the included JBeret implementation), and my last batch step returns

• batch status: COMPLETED
• exit status: WARNING

However, when looking from 'outside' at the job, I see

• batch status: COMPLETED
• exit status: COMPLETED

How can I change the job's exit status to "WARNING"?

Answer 1

You can set the job's exit status programmatically in one of your batch artifact classes, via JobContext.setExitStatus method.
