Retrieve JobId from ExecuteJobsCmd in camunda engine

[kmannuru]

User Story (Required on creation)

We have a couple of job interceptor use cases that need to get the jobId from ExecuteJobsCmd but it's protected and has no getter. We're using reflection to get it now,  but I would like to add a getter to https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-platform/blob/master/engine/src/main/java/org/camunda/bpm/engine/impl/cmd/ExecuteJobsCmd.java

Functional Requirements (Required before implementation)

JobId is exposed as getter from ExecuteJobsCmd

Technical Requirements (Required before implementation)

Create a getter to return the JobId from ExecuteJobsCmd

I am working on this enhancement.

Hi @kmannuru ,

@venetrius Any update on this?

Hi @kmannuru,
org.camunda.bpm.engine.impl.cmd.ExecuteJobsCmd is an external API. It is advised to use external API-s when building upon Camunda as internal API-s can change upon new releases.

Having said that, could you help me understand why do you need to access the jobId in a job interceptor.
What is the high level idea, what are you trying to achieve with the job interceptor?
How do you define your job interceptor?
