stepscoped listeners - annotation based listener does not work

there is a jira ticket for this see BATCH-1773

Hello !

whilst playing around with some spring batch examples, i noticed a strange behaviour, if you use a step scoped stepexecutionlistener with annotation e.g. @AfterStep, the method won't be used.
To be sure i tested the 4 possibilities:

• interface based listener
• interface based listener scope="step"
• annotation based listener
• annotation based listener scope="step"

the afterstep method of the last one annotation based listener scope="step" is not called

it smells like a bug, but i might miss something here

if you want to see the source, i created a simple listeners project in my github repo https://github.com/langmi/spring-batch-examples

Michael

ps: i would really like a junit test for this, would be nice if you could point me to the right direction for a test setup
