To separate steps class in spring batch - spring

Question

I have tried to find the solution but I cannot... ㅠㅠ
I want to separate steps in a job like below.
step1.class -> step2.class -> step3.class -> done
The reason why I'm so divided is that I have to use queries each step.
#Bean
public Job bundleJob() {
return jobBuilderFactory.get(JOB_NAME)
.start(step1) // bean
.next(step2) // bean
.next(step3()) // and here is the code ex) reader, processor, writer
.build();
}
my purpose is that I have to use the return data in step1, step2.
but jpaItemReader is like async ... so it doesn't process like above order.
debug flow like this.
readerStep1 -> writerStep1 -> readerStep2 -> readerWriter2 -> readerStep3 -> writerStep3
and
-> processorStep1 -> processorStep2 -> processorStep3
that is the big problem to me...
How can I wait each step in a job? Including querying.

Answer 1

aha! I got it.
the point is the creating beans in a configuration.
I wrote annotation bean all kinds of steps so that those are created by spring.
the solution is late binding like #JobScope or #StepScope
#Bean
#StepScope. // late creating bean.
public ListItemReader<Dto> itemReader() {
// business logic
return new ListItemReader<>(dto);
}

To have a separate steps in your job you can use a Flow with a TaskletStep. Sharing a snippet for your reference,
#Bean
public Job processJob() throws Exception {
Flow fetchData = (Flow) new FlowBuilder<>("fetchData")
.start(fetchDataStep()).build();
Flow transformData = (Flow) new FlowBuilder<>("transformData")
.start(transformData()).build();
Job job = jobBuilderFactory.get("processTenantLifeCycleJob").incrementer(new RunIdIncrementer())
.start(fetchData).next(transformData).next(processData()).end()
.listener(jobCompletionListener()).build();
ReferenceJobFactory referenceJobFactory = new ReferenceJobFactory(job);
registry.register(referenceJobFactory);
return job;
}
#Bean
public TaskletStep fetchDataStep() {
return stepBuilderFactory.get("fetchData")
.tasklet(fetchDataValue()).listener(fetchDataStepListener()).build();
}
#Bean
#StepScope
public FetchDataValue fetchDataValue() {
return new FetchDataValue();
}
#Bean
public TaskletStep transformDataStep() {
return stepBuilderFactory.get("transformData")
.tasklet(transformValue()).listener(sendReportDataCompletionListener()).build();
}
#Bean
#StepScope
public TransformValue transformValue() {
return new TransformValue();
}
#Bean
public Step processData() {
return stepBuilderFactory.get("processData").<String, Data>chunk(chunkSize)
.reader(processDataReader()).processor(dataProcessor()).writer(processDataWriter())
.listener(processDataListener())
.taskExecutor(backupTaskExecutor()).build();
}
In this example I have used 2 Flows to Fetch and Transform data which will execute data from a class.
In order to return the value of those from the step 1 and 2, you can store the value in the job context and retrieve that in the ProcessData Step which has a reader, processor and writer.
