public interface RepeatContext
extends org.springframework.core.AttributeAccessor
```
Base interface for context which controls the state and completion / termination of a batch step. A new context is created for each call to the RepeatOperations. Within a batch callback code can communicate via the AttributeAccessor interface.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`close()`	Allow resources to be cleared, especially in destruction callbacks.
`RepeatContext`	`getParent()`	If batches are nested, then the inner batch will be created with the outer one as a parent.
`int`	`getStartedCount()`	Public access to a counter for the number of operations attempted.
`boolean`	`isCompleteOnly()`	Public accessor for the complete flag.
`boolean`	`isTerminateOnly()`	Public accessor for the termination flag.
`void`	`registerDestructionCallback(java.lang.String name, java.lang.Runnable callback)`	Register a callback to be executed on close, associated with the attribute having the given name.
`void`	`setCompleteOnly()`	Signal to the framework that the current batch should complete normally, independent of the current `CompletionPolicy`.
`void`	`setTerminateOnly()`	Signal to the framework that the current batch should complete abnormally, independent of the current `CompletionPolicy`.

- Method Detail
  - getParent
```
RepeatContext getParent()
```
    If batches are nested, then the inner batch will be created with the outer one as a parent. This is an accessor for the parent if it exists.
    Returns:
    the parent context or null if there is none
  - getStartedCount
```
int getStartedCount()
```
    Public access to a counter for the number of operations attempted.
    Returns:
    the number of batch operations started.
  - setCompleteOnly
```
void setCompleteOnly()
```
    Signal to the framework that the current batch should complete normally, independent of the current CompletionPolicy.
  - isCompleteOnly
```
boolean isCompleteOnly()
```
    Public accessor for the complete flag.
    Returns:
    indicator if the repeat is complete
  - setTerminateOnly
```
void setTerminateOnly()
```
    Signal to the framework that the current batch should complete abnormally, independent of the current CompletionPolicy.
  - isTerminateOnly
```
boolean isTerminateOnly()
```
    Public accessor for the termination flag. If this flag is set then the complete flag will also be.
    Returns:
    indicates if the repeat should terminate
  - registerDestructionCallback
```
void registerDestructionCallback(java.lang.String name,
                                 java.lang.Runnable callback)
```
    Register a callback to be executed on close, associated with the attribute having the given name. The Runnable callback should not throw any exceptions.
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the attribute to associated this callback with. If this attribute is removed the callback should never be called.
    callback - a Runnable to execute when the context is closed.
  - close
```
void close()
```
    Allow resources to be cleared, especially in destruction callbacks. Implementations should ensure that any registered destruction callbacks are executed here, as long as the corresponding attribute is still available.
