Hi all,
I am new to Spring Batch and hope someone can help me.
I have a simple job with three steps. The first steps does something with a file using a tasklet and then writes it back with a different name/extenstion. Step 2 is a chunk related reader/writer step that picks up this file, reads it with a multiresourceitemreader (so that I could use wildcards) and writes it to a database. Step 3 renames this file.
At first my job was implemented with step 2 only - works great. I then added the rename step - works fine. Then lastly I added step one...this is where the trouble starts. Step 1 on its own works...I can see the file being written back with the different extention. But step 2 now gives me a warning that there is no resources to be read. If then I comment out my tasklet code for step 1 (so the changed filename is still in the folder) and run the job again...then it does pick it up. So it almost seems as if Step 2 tries to find the file before it is written? Is this possible? Am I understanding batch correctly that one step has to complete before the next one start (in the way I wired it up?) Any ideas of what I can try to solve this?
Some code samples below.
Thanks
