{"product_id":"9781430234531","title":"Pro Spring Batch","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince its release, Spring Framework has transformed virtually every aspect of Java development including web applications, security, aspect-oriented programming, persistence, and messaging. Spring Batch, one of its newer additions, now brings the same familiar Spring idioms to batch processing. Spring Batch addresses the needs of any batch process, from the complex calculations performed in the biggest financial institutions to simple data migrations that occur with many software development projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePro Spring Batch\u003c\/em\u003e is intended to answer three questions:   \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat?\u003c\/strong\u003e What is batch processing?

Batch processing covers a wide spectrum of topics, not all of which are covered in detail in this book. Concepts in Java which the reader should be comfortable with include file I\/O, JDBC, and transactions. Given that Spring Batch is a framework built upon the open-source IoC container Spring, which will not be covered in this book, it is expected that the reader will be familiar with its concepts and conventions. With that in mind, the reader is not expected to have any prior exposure to the Spring Batch framework. All concepts related to it will be explained in detail, with working examples.
