Spring Batch in Action:
by Arnaud Cogoluegnes, Thierry Templier, Gary Gregory, Olivier Bazoud

Even though running batch processes is an everyday task in almost all IT departments, Java developers have had few options for writing batch applications. The result? No standards, poor code reusability, numerous in-house solutions, and lots of frustrated developers. Jointly developed by SpringSource and Accenture, Spring Batch fills this critical gap by providing a robust and convenient framework for writing batch applications that process large volumes of information, automate repetitive tasks, and synchronize internal systems. Because Spring Batch includes re-usable components and a solid runtime environment, the batch developer doesn't have to write each new application from scratch. It leverages the Spring programming model, based on POJOs and aspect-oriented programming, to simplify batch configuration and implementation.

Spring Batch in Action is a comprehensive, in-depth guide to writing batch applications using Spring Batch. Written for developers who have basic knowledge of Java and the Spring lightweight container, it provides both a best-practices approach to writing batch jobs and comprehensive coverage of the Spring Batch framework. By following numerous real-world examples, the reader will learn to:

Configure and run batch applications

Implement components to read and write data

Handle errors during batch processing

Easily automate tedious tasks

Save effort by reusing code

The reader will also appreciate the comprehensive coverage of advanced issues like monitoring, tuning, enterprise integration, and automated testing.
