<para>Part of the flow in a job can be externalized as a separate bean
definition, and then re-used. There are three ways to do this, and the
definition, and then re-used. There are two ways to do this, and the
first is to simply declare the flow as a reference to one defined
elsewhere:</para>

flows.</para>
<para>The second form of an externalized flow is to use a
<classname>FlowStep</classname>. A <classname>FlowStep</classname> is an
implementation of the <classname>Step</classname> interface that
delegates processing to a flow defined as above with a
<literal>&lt;flow/&gt;</literal> element in XML. There is also support
for creating a FlowStep in XML directly:</para>

&lt;/flow&gt;</programlisting>The logic of execution of this job is the same
as the previous example, but the data stored in the job repository is
different: the <classname>Step</classname> "job1.flow1" gets its own
entry in the repository. This can be useful for monitoring and reporting
purposes, and moreover it can be used to give more structure to a <link
