Spring-Batch second step not working properly

Question

I am configuring a job with two step, Both step need to read different file and dump the data to database. When I am launching the job it executed the first step and save the data successfully and second step is not reading the file. But in database I can see that both Step Status is successful. My Configuration is looks like:

job id="job1" job-repository="jobRepository" xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch" restartable="true">
 <step id="step1">
 <tasklet transaction-manager="transactionManager" task-executor="taskExecutor">
 <chunk reader="DomainItemReader" writer="DomainItemWriter" commit-interval="40" skip-limit="10">
 <skippable-exception-classes>
 <include class="java.lang.Exception"/>
 <exclude class="java.io.FileNotFoundException"/>
 </skippable-exception-classes>
 <listeners>
 <listener ref="MyListener"/>
 </listeners>
 </chunk>
 </tasklet>
 <next on="COMPLETED" to="step2"/>
 </step>
 <step id="step2" >
 <tasklet transaction-manager="transactionManager" task-executor="taskExecutor" allow-start-if-complete="true">
 <chunk reader="DomainItemReader2" writer="DomainItemWriter2" commit-interval="100" skip-limit="10">
 <skippable-exception-classes>
 <include class="java.lang.Exception"/>
 <exclude class="java.io.FileNotFoundException"/>
 </skippable-exception-classes>
 <listeners>
 <listener ref="MyListener2"/>
 </listeners>
 </chunk>
 </tasklet>
 </step>
</job> 

And my reader is looks like :

<bean id="billDomainItemReader" class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.FlatFileItemReader">
 <property name="resource" value="file:./firstfile.txt" />
 <property name="linesToSkip" value="1" />
 <property name="lineMapper">
 <bean class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.mapping.DefaultLineMapper">
 <property name="lineTokenizer">
 <bean class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.transform.DelimitedLineTokenizer">
 <property name="delimiter">
 <util:constant static-field="org.springframework.batch.item.file.transform.DelimitedLineTokenizer.DELIMITER_TAB"/>
 </property>
 </bean>
 </property>
 <property name="fieldSetMapper">
 <bean class="com.abc.DomainMapper">
 <property name="accessJobParam" ref="accessJobParam"/>
 </bean>
 </property>
 </bean>
 </property>
</bean>

And my second step's reader is looks like :

<bean id="DomainItemReader2" class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.FlatFileItemReader" scope="step">
 <property name="resource" value="file:./secondFile.txt" />
 <property name="linesToSkip" value="1" />
 <property name="lineMapper">
 <bean class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.mapping.DefaultLineMapper">
 <property name="lineTokenizer">
 <bean class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.transform.DelimitedLineTokenizer">
 <!-- <property name="names" value="PRODUCT_ID,NAME,DESCRIPTION,PRICE" />-->
 <property name="delimiter">
 <util:constant static-field="org.springframework.batch.item.file.transform.DelimitedLineTokenizer.DELIMITER_TAB"/>
 </property>
 </bean>
 </property>
 <property name="fieldSetMapper">
 <bean class="com.abc.DomainMapper2">
 <property name="accessJobParam" ref="accessJobParam"/>
 </bean>
 </property>
 </bean>
 </property>
</bean>

Can any body please tell me where I am doing wrong and why it is not processing my second step file. Thanks

Answer 1

I removed

allow-start-if-complete="true"`

from my second step and added

parent="step1" 

in my second step and it works fine for me.

Answer 2

In your second reader configuration

<property name="fieldSetMapper">
 <bean class="com.DomainMapper2">
 <property name="accessJobParam" ref="accessJobParam"/>
 </bean>
 </property>

check the bean class mapping <bean class="com.DomainMapper2">

does this bean in same package or in different package <bean class="com.abc.DomainMapper2">
