java - How to run Spring Batch Jobs in certain order (Spring Boot)? -

i'm developing spring batch using spring boot.

i'm minimal configuration provided spring boot , defined jobs (no xml configuration @ all). when run application,

springapplication.run(app.class, args); 

the jobs sequentially executed in arbitrary order.

i'm defining jobs way in @configuration annotated classes, spring rest:

@bean public job requesttickets() {     return jobbuilderfactory.get(config.job_request_tickets)             .start(steprequesttickets())             .build(); } 

how can instruct framework run jobs in order?

edit: warning give hint? (maybe has nothing be)

1.you first disable automatic job start specifying spring.batch.job.enabled=false in application.properties

2.in main class, - applicationcontext ctx = springapplication.run(springbatchmain.class, args); assuming main class named - springbatchmain.java.

this initialize context without starting jobs.

3.once context initialized, either can - joblauncher joblauncher = (joblauncher) ctx.getbean("joblauncher"); or autowired joblauncher bean in main class , launch specific jobs sequentially in specific sequential order invoking , joblauncher.run(job, jobparameters).

you can specific job instances context initialized @ step # 2.

you can use ordered collection put jobs there , launch jobs iterating on collection.

4.this above technique works long joblauncher configured synchronous i.e. main thread waits joblauncher.run() call complete , default behavior of joblauncher.

if have defined joblauncher use asynctaskexecutor jobs started in parallel , sequential ordering not maintained.

hope helps !!

edit:

i experimenting @order annotation pointed stephane nicoll , seems in creating ordered collection of jobs , can iterate , launch jobs in order.

this below component gives me jobs in order specified ,

@component public class myjobs {     @autowired     private list<job> jobs;      public list<job> getjobs() {         return jobs;     } } 

and can , myjobs myjobs = (myjobs) ctx.getbean("myjobs"); in main class provided bean defined,

@bean     public myjobs myjobs() {         return new myjobs();     } 

i can iterate on myjobs , launch jobs in order specified @order annotation.
