Integrating Spring Batch and Spring Integration

This meeting is being presented in conjunction with the Atlanta Java Users Group (https://www.meetup.com/atlantajug/). Please note that this event will be held at the normal AJUG meeting location.

About the Presentation:

In this session you will learn to efficiently use Spring Batch and Spring Integration together. Users of Spring Batch often have the requirements to interact with other systems, to schedule the periodic execution Batch jobs and to monitor the execution of Batch jobs. Conversely, Spring Integration users periodically have Big Data processing requirements, be it for example the handling of large traditional batch files or the execution of Apache Hadoop jobs. For these scenarios, Spring Batch is the ideal solution. This session will introduce Spring Batch Integration, a project that provides support to easily tie Spring Batch and Spring Integration together. We will cover the following scenarios:

• Launch Batch Jobs through Spring Integration Messages
• Generate Informational Messages
• Externalize Batch Process Execution using Spring Integration
• Create Big Data Pipelines with Spring Batch and Spring Integration
