How to get hadoop job configuration based on current job id?

Is there a way to get the job configuration (some property from the configuration) if I know the job id?

Basically, what I'm doing is checking to see if there are any current jobs at the moment, and then I want to check if there is any value for the property in any of the current jobs that are in progress?

Part of the code to retrieve ongoing jobs:

    JobConf jobConf = new JobConf(conf);
    JobClient client = new JobClient(jobConf);
    JobStatus[] status = client.getAllJobs();
    for (int i = 0; i< status.length; i++)
    {
        if (!status[i].isJobComplete())
        {
        JobID jobid = status[i].getJobID();
        System.out.println(jobid.toString());
        }
    }

Thanks in advance
