[ChunkListener] afterChunk() is called before the Writer is called

[Christof_Patzwald]

Hello,

I currently have a problem with spring batch 2.0.0 RC1. I have implemented a listener extending StepListenerSupport and implementing all listener methods so I can see in witch order they are called. The actual order is:

Before Step
Before Chunk
Before Read
After Read: 1
Before Read 
After Read: 2
Before Read: 
After Read: 3
After Chunk
Before Write: [1, 2, 3]
After Write: [1, 2, 3]
After Step

This is not what I would have expected. Based on what I read in the documentation(chapter 5.1.10.2. ChunkListener "Conversely, afterChunk is called after the last call to write on the ItemWriter, but before the chunk has been committed.") I assumed the order has to be:

Before Step
Before Chunk
Before Read
After Read: 1
Before Read 
After Read: 2
Before Read: 
After Read: 3
Before Write: [1, 2, 3]
After Write: [1, 2, 3]
After Chunk
After Step

Is the actual behavior intended or is it a bug?

Best regards,
Christof
