Step names must be unique over all jobs?

I have spent the last several days trying to figure this out - I was sure I was doing something wrong, finally I decided to come to this forum and see if anyone else had the same or similar problem.

I have 15 different batch jobs configured and I notice that the other 14 all executed the input file from the 1st job loaded???

many, many thanks!

<bean class="eu.unicredit.zmx.batch.tasklet.RfhRemoverTa sklet" scope="step">
<property name="inFile" value="A"/>
<property name="outFile" value="B"/>
</bean>
</batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
</batch:job>

Second Job:

<batch:job id="job2" parent="baseJob">
<batch:step id="stepRfhRemover">
<batch:tasklet>
<bean class="eu.unicredit.zmx.batch.tasklet.RfhRemoverTa sklet" scope="step">
<property name="inFile" value="C"/>
<property name="outFile" value="D"/>
</bean>
</batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
</batch:job>

If we execute job2 we see that the tasklet is injected with the values from job1 (A and B). We found out, that if we choose different names for the steps (for example id="job1.stepRfhRemover" and id="job2.stepRfhRemover"), everything works fine.

In our opinion a step should be unique for a job even it has the same id. Is this a bug or feature?
