How come jobParameters cannot be found in ItemProcessor using annotations?

Question

I am having issues using the job parameters in my item processor. At this time, the code is basically setup like: How to get Job parameteres in to item processor using spring Batch annotation but I am receiving an error at runtime. Also, please note that my example code does use some spring integration for processing.

Using the example at How to get Job parameteres in to item processor using spring Batch annotation, I have the following code. One would think this would be a simple cut and paste and then be on my way. I am using jobParameters elsewhere just fine, but it definitely fails in the ItemProcessor.

ClaimBatchConfiguration:

... 
@Configuration
@EnableBatchProcessing
public class ClaimBatchConfiguration {

...

    @Bean
    public ClaimLineItemProcessor claimLineItemProcessor() {
            return new ClaimLineItemProcessor();
    }

    @Bean
    public Job importClaimJob() {    
        return claimJobBuilderFactory.get("importClaimJob").incrementer(new RunIdIncrementer())
                .listener(claimListener()).flow(importClaimStep1()).end().build();
    }

    @Bean
    public Step importClaimStep1() {    
        return claimStepBuilderFactory.get("importClaimStep1").<ClaimLine, ClaimLine> chunk(1)
                .reader(claimFileReader(OVERRIDDEN_BY_EXPRESSION)).processor(claimLineItemProcessor())
                .writer(claimLineWriter()).faultTolerant().retryLimit(retryLimit)
                .retry(DeadlockLoserDataAccessException.class).skipLimit(1) // default is 0
                .skip(Exception.class).build();
    }

ClaimFileMessagetoJobRequest.java:

...
@Component
public class ClaimFileMessageToJobRequest implements ApplicationContextAware {
...

    @Transformer(inputChannel = "claimInputChannel", outputChannel = "commonJobGateway")  
    public JobLaunchRequest messageToRequest(Message<File> message) {
        logger.info("Load Claim Started at " + DateFormat.getCurrentDateTime());

        String[] fileNameParts = message.getPayload().getName().split("[_]");

       // handle error
        JobParametersBuilder jobParametersBuilder = new JobParametersBuilder();

        jobParametersBuilder.addString("clientName", fileNameParts[1]);

        logger.debug("Job Paramaters: " + jobParametersBuilder.toJobParameters());

        JobLaunchRequest request = new JobLaunchRequest(job, jobParametersBuilder.toJobParameters());

        return request;
    }

...
}

ClaimLineItemProcessor.java:

@Scope("step")
public class ClaimLineItemProcessor implements ItemProcessor<ClaimLine, ClaimLine> {

    @Value("#{jobParameters['clientName']}")
    private String clientName;

    // client name getter and setter here

    @Override
    public ClaimLine process(ClaimLine claimline) throws Exception {
    logger.debug("Current Client Name" + clientName);

    // bunch or work to really do
        return claimline;
    }
}

Answer 1

The @Scope("step") should be on the bean definition (in the ClaimBatchConfiguration), not on the class itself. Also, as an FYI, you can use @StepScope as a short cut (also on the bean definition).
