Passing an object between Listener and Writer

[springforever]

2. Throw an exception that is non-recoverable (i.e. not skippable, doesn't cause a retry, etc.)

I tried throwing the RuntimeException from afterStep of step-1 (so as to terminate the job and not to proceed with step-2). However, this exception gets handled in ItemOrientedStep and continues with the step-2.

May be throwing RuntimeException in the Writer can terminate the job (as per 4.5.3 of the doc...but i need to terminate the job from afterStep, i think)

Why does "stepExecution.setTerminateOnly()" don't work? Do i need completion policy or something?

Did you forget to register the wrapped writer as an ItemStream in the step?

I did read 3.10.1. But not sure how to register the wrapped writer as an ItemStream? (Wrapped writer extends AbstractItemStreamItemWriter)

Please help!
