All Known Implementing Classes:

A batchlet is type of batch step that can be used for any type of background processing that does not explicitly call for a chunk oriented approach.

A well-behaved batchlet responds to stop requests by implementing the stop method.

Method Summary

void	stop() The stop method is invoked by the batch runtime as part of JobOperator.stop() method processing.
