SkipListener /ItemWriteLiserner not being called.

Hi All

I configured a skip Listener for a step and it doesn't seem like it is working.
I am introducing an error during write. As I would expect, since transaction is rolled back the chunk is not written to the database. However, i was expecting to see this listener being called so that I could capture what was not written to the database. It doesn't get called. I also tried using a ItemWriteListener which was not called either. what am I doing wrong :(

Here is my listener class:

Public class BPMSkipListener implements SkipListener {

@Override
public void onSkipInProcess(Object arg0, Throwable arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.out.println(" process skip");
}

@Override
public void onSkipInRead(Throwable arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println(" Read skip");

}

@Override
public void onSkipInWrite(Object arg0, Throwable arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println(" Record Skipped :"+arg0.toString()+" = Error:"+arg1);

}


and here is the step configuration:

<step id="gameLoad" next="playerSummarization" >
<tasklet transaction-manager="bpmTransactionManager" >
<chunk reader="gameFileItemReader" writer="gameWriter"
commit-interval="${job.commit.interval}" skip-limit="10">

<skippable-exception-classes>
<include class="java.lang.Exception"/>
</skippable-exception-classes>
</chunk>

<listeners>
<listener ref="bpmSkipListener"/>
</listeners>

</tasklet>

</step>




<bean id="bpmSkipListener" class="com.xxxxxx.bpm.batch.base.BPMItemWriteListe ner"/>

Hi bleacherseat,

I think skip listeners are only called when the transaction of the chunk is commited. This is because if there is a rollback you don't really have written the chunk yet , so you don't want to log already the skipped element because something can go wrong after the rollback and the chunk could be never be written.

Maybe you could use the @OnWriteError listener and identify the skippable exceptions to log in this method.

Hope this help you.

i guess you used the listeners element on the wrong part, it works with this config

Code:

---

   
  <job id="skipJob" xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch">
        <step id="skipJobStep">
            <tasklet>
                <chunk
                    reader="itemReader"
                    writer="itemWriter"
                    commit-interval="5">
                </chunk>
            </tasklet>
            <listeners>
                <listener ref="stepListener" />
            </listeners>           
        </step>
    </job>

your example would work, if the listener were a chunklistener
