beforeStep/afterStep runs twice with step scoped beans using annotations and implementing StepExecutionListener at the same time [BATCH-2107]

[spring-projects-issues]

Krishna Bhamidipati opened BATCH-2107 and commented

Spring Batch 2.1.8 introduced the @BeforeStep and @AfterStep annotations, in lieu of implementing StepExecutionListener.

If a class:

• both implements StepExecutionListener and uses the @BeforeStep/@AfterStep annotations
• is defined in step scope then the beforeStep/afterStep run twice.

However, if the class is not step scope, then the the beforeStep/afterStep run only once, as expected.

The attached project has a JUnit test (ExampleJobConfigurationTests) that demonstrates the above behavior. writer1 is step scope and writer2 is not. The console output reveals writer1's beforeStep and afterStep run twice whereas writer2's run only once.
