Spring Batch Chunk processing

Question

When processing a step level using chunk processing(specifying a commit-interval) in Spring Batch,is there a way to know inside the Writer,when all the records in a file have been read and processed.My idea was to pass the collection of records read from the file to the ExecutionContext once all the records have been read.

Please help.

I don't know if the is one of pre-built CompletionPolicy that do what you want, but if none you can write a custom CompletionPolicy that mark a chunk as completed when writer return null ; in this way you hold all items read from file.
After that, are you sure this is exactly what you wnat? because store all item in ExecutionContext is not a good pratice; also you will lose chunk processing, restartability, and all other SB features...
