Passing jobParameters to bean in Spring Batch

I read a problem from the link https://stackoverflow.com/q/15784984/814074 and tried the solution given in above link. However, I got the following error while running the code:

Error creating bean with name 'JobArgs' defined in class path resource [pipelineJob.xml]: 
Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.ConversionNotSupportedException: Failed to convert property value of type '$Proxy2 implementing java.io.Serializable,org.springframework.aop.scope.ScopedObject,org.springframework.aop.framework.AopInfrastructureBean,org.springframework.aop.SpringProxy,org.springframework.aop.framework.Advised' to required type 'com.test.genepanel.job.JobArguments' for property 'jobArguements'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException:

    <bean id="basicStep" class="com.test.mutation.steps.BasicStep" abstract="true">
        <property name="testJobArgs" ref="JobArgs"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="JobArgs" class="com.test.mutation.application.TestJobArguements">
        <property name="jobArguements" ref="jobArg"> 
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="jobArg" class="com.test.genepanel.job.JobArguments" scope="step">
        <constructor-arg value="#{jobParameters['jobOutputDir']}"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="emptyTaskLet" class="com.test.mutation.steps.EmptyStep" scope="step" parent="basicStep" />

    <bean id="cleanupTaskLet" class="com.test.mutation.steps.CleanUpStep" scope="step" parent="basicStep">
    </bean>

    <bean id="initializationStepTasklet" class="com.test.mutation.steps.InitializationStep"  scope ="step" parent="basicStep">
    </bean> 
</beans>

Am I missing anything?

The easy way to use step scope is like this:

<bean id="myReader" class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.FlatFileItemReader" scope="step">
    <property name="resource" value="file:#{jobParameters['input.file']}" />
    <property name="linesToSkip" value="0" />
    <property name="recordSeparatorPolicy" ref="simpleRecordPolicy" />
    <property name="lineMapper" ref="journalSicIemtLineMapper" />
</bean>

Placing the step scope on the beans will delay his creation until the step it his referred is about to start. This is what Late-binding means, so you could access variables in the the ExecutionContext.

As the docs in the StepScope states:

beans with the StepScope will be aop:scoped-proxy. This means a proxy goes around the real object.

So when you define a regular Spring Beans (like you did with jobArg) and put the scope=step on it. You will have to find a way to retrieve the object inside this proxy when you want to set it in another bean (JobArgs)

I have looked all over the Spring references and I have not seen late binding in the constructor arguments so I am not sure it works. I assume you are setting the jobParameters in the JobArgs, in which case it should have the same scope="step"
