Simple Flow-based job

[vijaynairis]

Hi,

I got a simple flow based-job defined

<job id="testJob" job-repository="jobRepository" restartable="true">
			<split id="split1" next="split4">
				<flow>
					<step id="step2" tasklet="simpleTasklet1"/> 
				</flow>
				<flow>
					<step id="step3" tasklet="simpleTasklet2"/>
				</flow>
			</split>
			<step id="step4" tasklet="simpleTasklet3"/>
		</job>
		
		<beans:bean id="simpleTasklet1" class="ofss.fcpb.batchserver.jobs.SimpleTasklet"/>
		<beans:bean id="simpleTasklet2" class="ofss.fcpb.batchserver.jobs.SimpleTasklet1"/>
		<beans:bean id="simpleTasklet3" class="ofss.fcpb.batchserver.jobs.SimpleTasklet3"/>

I get the following error always

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'testJob': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' of type [org.springframework.batch.core.job.flow.support.SimpleFlow] while setting bean property 'flow'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing state for [StateTransition: [state=split1, pattern=*, next=split4]]

I see two problems, one your split has a next of split4, which I think you meant to be step4. Second, you need to define some kind of state for the two splits, probably something like end on *, fail on fail.
