In my application there is a requirement to be able to create Scheduled Job(s) depending on the type of Request that comes in (Dynamically).
Can I still use Spring to create and trigger Jobs? If Yes, how?
Any help would be useful.

Quartz is an open source Java library for scheduling Jobs. It has a very rich set of features including but not limited to persistent Jobs, transactions, and clustering. You can schedule Jobs to be executed at a certain time of day, or periodically at a certain interval, and much more.
You can use Quartz to start Spring Batch jobs. So basically Spring Batch defines what should be done, Quartz defines when it should be done.
A misfire occurs if a persistent trigger “misses” its firing time because of the scheduler being shutdown, or because there are no available threads in Quartz's thread pool for executing the job. The different trigger types have different misfire instructions available to them.
Given that the SchedulerFactoryBean exposes a native Quartz Scheduler object, you can wire that directly into your controller class, and then dynamically create and register triggers and jobs with the Scheduler object.
Spring itself can't be used for the scheduling of the dynamically created jobs, since Spring's bean support will be used for statically configured jobs, but the native Quartz Scheduler API is reasonable enough to use on its own (barely). As fr triggering of the jobs, that Quartz's job, not Spring's.
edit: either I'm mis-understanding the original question, or everyone else is. The other answers all detail how to statically wire up a series of quartz jobs using Spring, but the question was how to dynamically schedule jobs as requests come in.
