- org.springframework.batch.core.job.AbstractJob
- - org.springframework.batch.core.job.flow.FlowJob

All Implemented Interfaces:
Job, StepLocator, org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean
Direct Known Subclasses:
JsrFlowJob
```
public class FlowJob
extends AbstractJob
```
Implementation of the Job interface that allows for complex flows of steps, rather than requiring sequential execution. In general, this job implementation was designed to be used behind a parser, allowing for a namespace to abstract away details.

```
public FlowJob()
```
    Create a FlowJob with null name and no flow (invalid state).
  - FlowJob
```
public FlowJob(java.lang.String name)
```
    Create a FlowJob with provided name and no flow (invalid state).
    Parameters:
    name - the name to be associated with the FlowJob.
- Method Detail
  - setFlow
```
public void setFlow(Flow flow)
```
    Public setter for the flow.
    Parameters:
    flow - the flow to set
  - getStep
```
public Step getStep(java.lang.String stepName)
```
    Retrieve the step with the given name. If there is no Step with the given name, then return null.
    Specified by:
    getStep in interface StepLocator
    Specified by:
    getStep in class AbstractJob
    Parameters:
    stepName - name of the step
    Returns:
    the Step
  - getStepNames
```
public java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> getStepNames()
```
    Retrieve the step names.
    Specified by:
    getStepNames in interface StepLocator
    Specified by:
    getStepNames in class AbstractJob
    Returns:
    the step names
  - doExecute
```
protected void doExecute(JobExecution execution)
                  throws JobExecutionException
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractJob
    Extension point for subclasses allowing them to concentrate on processing logic and ignore listeners and repository calls. Implementations usually are concerned with the ordering of steps, and delegate actual step processing to AbstractJob.handleStep(Step, JobExecution).
    Specified by:
    doExecute in class AbstractJob
    Parameters:
    execution - the current JobExecution
    Throws:
    JobExecutionException - to signal a fatal batch framework error (not a business or validation exception)
    See Also:
    AbstractJob.doExecute(JobExecution)
