Custom Exit Code and FlowExecutionException

[AnNa]

Hi, I am trying to use a custom Exit Code ("COMPLETE_WITH_WARN") to control the steps (terminate job) I run in my job, but I get a FlowExecutionException. Any idea what have I done wrong?

I am using SpringBatch-2.1.1-RELEASE.

Here is how the code looks like:

xml (step in restartable job):

<step
			id="processDomainObject">
			<tasklet>
				<chunk
					reader="itemreader"
					processor="itemprocessor"
					writer="itemwriter"
					commit-interval="1"
					skip-limit="1">
					<skippable-exception-classes>
							<include
						class="a.b.ExceptionToSkip" />
					</skippable-exception-classes>
				</chunk>
				<listeners>
					<listener
						ref="aSkipListener" />
				</listeners>
			</tasklet>
			<next
				on="COMPLETED"
				to="wrapUp" />
			<fail
				on="COMPLETED_WITH_WARN" />
		</step>

aSkipListener.java:

 public ExitStatus afterStep( StepExecution stepExecution )
    {
        ExitStatus exitStatus = stepExecution.getExitStatus();
        if ( exitStatus.equals( ExitStatus.COMPLETED ) && stepExecution.getSkipCount() > 0 )
        {
         
            return new ExitStatus("COMPLETED_WITH_WARN");
        }
        else
        {
            return exitStatus;
        }
    }

And the exception is:

Caused by: org.springframework.batch.core.job.flow.FlowExecutionException: Next state not found in flow=doStuffStep for state=doStuffStep .processDomainObject with exit status=COMPLETED_WITH_WARN
	at org.springframework.batch.core.job.flow.support.SimpleFlow.nextState(SimpleFlow.java:195)
	at org.springframework.batch.core.job.flow.support.SimpleFlow.resume(SimpleFlow.java:158)

You don't have anywhere for the step to go if the exit status is not one of COMPLETED or COMPLETED_WITH_WARN, so that might be a problem. But it looks like it should work in the case that is failing. Can you distil the problem down to a simple test case?
