Spring Batch - Basic Application

This chapter shows you the basic Spring Batch application. It will simply execute a tasklet to displays a message.

Our Spring Batch application contains the following files −

  • Configuration file − This is an XML file where we define the Job and the steps of the job. (If the application involves readers and writers too, then the configuration of readers and writers is also included in this file.)

  • Context.xml − In this file, we will define the beans like job repository, job launcher and transaction manager.

  • Tasklet class − In this class, we will write the processing code job (In this case, it displays a simple message)

  • Launcher class − in this class, we will launch the Batch Application by running the Job launcher.

jobConfig.xml

Following is the configuration file of our sample Spring Batch application.

<beans xmlns = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
   xmlns:batch = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch" 
   xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
   xsi:schemaLocation = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch 
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch/spring-batch-2.2.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd "> 
   <import resource="context.xml" />      
   <!-- Defining a bean --> 
   <bean id = "tasklet" class = "a_sample.MyTasklet" />  
   <!-- Defining a job--> 
   <batch:job id = "helloWorldJob">  
      <!-- Defining a Step --> 
      <batch:step id = "step1"> 
         <tasklet ref = "tasklet"/>   
      </batch:step>    
   </batch:job>  
</beans>

Context.xml

Following is the context.xml of our Spring Batch application.

<beans xmlns = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
   xmlns:xsi = http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
   xsi:schemaLocation = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd">  
   
   <bean id = "jobRepository"   
      class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.support.MapJobRepositoryFactoryBean"> 
      <property name = "transactionManager" ref = "transactionManager" /> 
   </bean>     
     
   <bean id = "transactionManager" 
      class = "org.springframework.batch.support.transaction.ResourcelessTransactionManager" />  
   <bean id = "jobLauncher" 
      class = "org.springframework.batch.core.launch.support.SimpleJobLauncher"> 
      <property name = "jobRepository" ref = "jobRepository" /> 
   </bean> 
</beans>

Tasklet.java

Following is the Tasklet class which displays a simple message.

import org.springframework.batch.core.StepContribution; 
import org.springframework.batch.core.scope.context.ChunkContext;
import org.springframework.batch.core.step.tasklet.Tasklet;
import org.springframework.batch.repeat.RepeatStatus;  

public class MyTasklet implements Tasklet { 
   
   @Override 
   public RepeatStatus execute(StepContribution arg0, ChunkContext arg1) throws Exception {  
      System.out.println("Hello This is a sample example of spring batch"); 
      return RepeatStatus.FINISHED; 
   } 
}

App.java

Following is the code which launces the batch process.

import org.springframework.batch.core.Job; 
import org.springframework.batch.core.JobExecution; 
import org.springframework.batch.core.JobParameters; 
import org.springframework.batch.core.launch.JobLauncher; 
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; 
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class App { 
   public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception { 
  
      // System.out.println("hello"); 
      String[] springConfig  =  {"a_sample/job_hello_world.xml"};  
      
      // Creating the application context object  
      ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(springConfig); 
      
      // Creating the job launcher 
      JobLauncher jobLauncher = (JobLauncher) context.getBean("jobLauncher"); 
  
      // Creating the job 
      Job job = (Job) context.getBean("helloWorldJob"); 
  
      // Executing the JOB 
      JobExecution execution = jobLauncher.run(job, new JobParameters()); 
      System.out.println("Exit Status : " + execution.getStatus()); 
   }    
}

On executing, the above SpringBatch program will produce the following output −
