DESCRIPTION

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.

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.
