Working with Spring Batch

Batch processing is the processing of Jobs (transactions) in groups or batches. Jobs that can run with a minimum of end user interaction and can be scheduled to run when resources permit. Spring Batch is a lightweight framework enabling the development of robust batch applications using the Spring Framework. Spring Batch the advanced technical services and features to support extremely high volume and high-performance batch jobs while utilizing the POJO-based development approach of the Spring Framework, familiar to all experienced Spring developers.
