Getting jobs exception using IJobListener (Quartz.NET)

Question

Hi, I'm using an IJobListener in Quartz.NET to audit all job successes/failures. When a job fails, I want the exception to be taken into the IJobListener so the exception can be stored too for later analysis.

Currently my job listener is like this:

public virtual void JobWasExecuted(JobExecutionContext context, JobExecutionException x)
        {

}

But even though all transactions in the Execute method for the job are encased in a try with a catch(Exception x), which I then throw, the 'x' for JobExecutionException is never populated.

Is there a special way of actually getting the exception to the job listener?

Thanks

Do you just throw the Exception? Have you tried wrapping it in the right Type that JobWasExecuted is expecting?

public virtual void Execute(JobExecutionContext context)
{
    try 
    {
      //divide by zero... or something else that causes an exception
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      JobExecutionException je = new JobExecutionException(e);
      je.RefireImmediately = true;  //do something with the exception
      throw je;  //throw JobExecutionException
    }
}
