Interface Job

@ProviderType
public interface Job

A job Property Types In general all scalar types and all serializable classes are supported as property types. However, in order for deseralizing classes these must be exported. Serializable classes are not searchable in the query either. Due to the above mentioned potential problems, it is advisable to not use custom classes as job properties, but rather use out of the box supported types in combination with collections. A resource provider might convert numbers to a different type, JCR is well-known for this behavior as it only supports long but neither integer nor short. Therefore if you are dealing with numbers, use the getProperty(String, Class) method to get the correct type instead of directly casting it.
