How do I intercept a Job Execution in Spring Batch?

During the course of the execution of a Job, it may be useful to be notified of various events in its lifecycle so that custom code may be executed. The SimpleJob allows for this by calling a JobListener at the appropriate time.

public interface JobExecutionListener {

    void beforeJob(JobExecution jobExecution);

    void afterJob(JobExecution jobExecution);

}

JobListeners can be added to a SimpleJob via the listeners element on the job.

<job id="myBatchJob">
    <step id="mySimpleStep"  />
    <listeners>
        <listener ref="myJobListener"/>
    </listeners>
</job>

The annotations corresponding to this interface are:

• @BeforeJob.
• @AfterJob.
