No Scope registered for scope 'step'

[jbochard]

Hi, first of all, sorry for my english, I'm using a translator.

I am trying to configure a bean with scope = "step" and get the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Scope registered for scope 'step'

My Spring configuration is:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:batch="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"

............

<bean id="AbstractStep" class="org.springframework.batch.core.step.Abstrac tStep" abstract="true">
<property name="jobRepository" ref="jobRepository" />
</bean>

<batch:job id="mailProcess" job-repository="jobRepository">
<batch:step id="filter1" parent="AbstractStep">
<batch:tasklet transaction-manager="jobTrxManager">
<batch:chunk reader="mailReader" writer="mailWriter" commit-interval="1"/>
</batch:tasklet>
</batch:step>
</batch:job>

........
<bean id="mailReader" class="uy.com.geocom.mail2mantis.mail2mantis_core. jobs.MailReader" scope="step"/>
........
</beans>

I have tried to resolve this problem adding the line:

<bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.scope.StepSc ope" />

but did not solve the problem
I also tried to explicitly register the scope

<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.Cu stomScopeConfigurer">
<property name="scopes">
<map>
<entry key="step">
<bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.scope.StepSc ope" />
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>

Really do not know what else to do. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Add the below like to your configuration

<bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.scope.StepSc ope" />

Are you using an ApplicationContext? Plain BeanFactory implementations do not automatically run post processors etc. so you would see the same behaviour using XmlBeanFactory for instance.
