Custom CDI Scopes

JBeret supports 3 custom CDI scopes with the corresponding annotations:

• org.jberet.cdi.JobScoped
• org.jberet.cdi.StepScoped
• org.jberet.cdi.PartitionScoped

These annotations can be applied to CDI beans in a batch application to specify their scopes within the batch application. For instance, a @JobScoped singleton bean can be used to share and exchange application state between various artifacts within the same job execution. Or with a @PartitionScoped bean, different instances will be injected into targets in different partitions.

Note that they should not be applied to any standard batch artifact types such as batchlet, item reader/writer/processor, batch listener, partition reducer/collector/analyzer/mapper, etc.

JobScoped

CDI beans with @JobScoped annotation are scoped to the current job execution. Injections of a bean type within the same job execution share the same bean instance. Injections of the same bean type across different job executions refers to different bean instances. org.jberet.cdi.JobScoped annotation is declared as follows:

@Target({TYPE})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@NormalScope
@Inherited
public @interface JobScoped {}

To apply the annotation to CDI bean at class-level:

@Named
@JobScoped
public class Foo {...}

To inject the above bean into a batch artifact:

@Named
public class JobScopeBatchlet1 extends AbstractBatchlet {
    @Inject
    private Foo foo;
...
}

StepScoped

Injections of a bean type within the same step execution share the same bean instance. Injections of the same bean type across different step executions refers to different bean instances. org.jberet.cdi.StepScoped annotation is declared as follows:

@Target({TYPE})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@NormalScope
@Inherited
public @interface StepScoped {}

To apply the annotation to CDI bean at class-level:

@Named
@StepScoped
public class Foo {...}

To inject the above bean into a batch artifact:

@Named
public class StepScopedListener implements StepListener {
    @Inject
    private Foo foo;
...
}

PartitionScoped

Injections of a bean type within the same partition execution share the same bean instance. Injections of the same bean type across different partition executions refers to different bean instances. org.jberet.cdi.PartitionScoped annotation is declared as follows:

@Target({TYPE})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@NormalScope
@Inherited
public @interface PartitionScoped {}

To apply the annotation to CDI bean at class-level:

@Named
@PartitionScoped
public class Foo {...}

To inject the above bean into a batch artifact:

@Named
public class PartitionScopePartitionAnalyzer implements PartitionAnalyzer {
    @Inject
    private Foo foo;
...
}
