Can't Use Type ItemListenerSupport w/ StepBuilderFactory .listener Method [BATCH-2461]

Jeff opened BATCH-2461 and commented

The .listener method of StepBuilderFactory doesn't support taking arguments of type ItemListenerSupport

Affects: 3.0.6

There isn't a method on StepBuilderFactory for adding listeners. Can you paste your exact configuration so we can see what actual builder you're using?

I have the same problem, it is on SimpleStepBuilder (org.springframework.batch.core.step.builder.SimpleStepBuilder). Here in this code you can see that I have to cast FooBarItemListener as a ItemReadListener to be able to call the method, it works but it isn't then obvious to someone reading this that FooBarItemListener will also work as a ItemProcessListener and an ItemWriteListener.

    @Configuration
	@EnableBatchProcessing
	public class JobConfiguration {
	
		[...]
	
		@Autowired
		private StepBuilderFactory stepBuilderFactory;

		@Bean
		public Step stepFoo() {
			return stepBuilderFactory.get("stepFoo")
					.<Foo, Bar>chunk(100)
					.reader(fooReader())
					.processor(fooProcessor())
					.writer(barReader())
					.listener((ItemReadListener<Foo>) new FooBarItemListener()) //The problematic part
					.listener(new FooBarStepExecutionListener())
					.listener(new FooBarJobExecutionListener())
					.build();
		}
		
		[...]
		
	}
	
	public class FooBarItemListener extends ItemListenerSupport<Foo, Bar> {
	
		private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(FooBarItemListener.class);
		
		@Override
		public void onReadError(Exception ex) {
			LOGGER.error("Exception while reading foo: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
		}

		@Override
		public void onProcessError(Foo item, Exception ex) {
			LOGGER.error("Exception while processsing foo " + item + " error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
		}

		@Override
		public void onWriteError(Exception ex, List<? extends Bar> items) {
			LOGGER.error("Exception while writing bars : " + items + " error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
		}
	
	}

Any updates on this? What is the proper usage of this class to not cause this error?

Closing this as StepBuilderFactory was deprecated in v5.0 (#4188) and removed in v5.2.
