Spring batch how to fail a step and therefor the job from inside a Partitioner

Question

I currently have a partitioner extending partitiner and Overriding the method partition.

In the partition method I try to read configuration records from the database in order to partition downloads

If I'm unable to read from the database for some reason I want to fail the Job.

How do I do exactly that?

You can use SimpleJobOperator bean for this purpose.

SimpleJobOperator bean has method jobOperator.stop(executionId) method which takes executionId of job as parameter.

You can get executionId from JobExecution . something like this executionId =JobExecution.getId();

I am using similar setup and it's working fine. Hope this helps
