There is no way to set the exceptionClassifier and interruptionPolicy into the SimpleStepExecutor by configuration. The only possible way is to create a new Step subclass.

Further, when overriding RepeatOperationsStep, I notice that execute() explicitely invokes <b>super</b>.createStepExecutor(), although super is not necessary here, and most problematic, it prevents polymorphism usage of createStepExecutor() in subclass.
