Behind the Scenes at Spring Batch

Spring Batch has a large user base and a good track record in production systems, but what is it all really about, and why does it work? This presentation provides a short bootstrap to get a new user started with the Batch domain, showing the key concepts and explaining the benefits of the framework. Then it goes into a deeper dive and looks at what holds it all together, with a close look at some of the most important but least understood features, including restart, retry and transactions.

Tailoring Spring for Custom Usage

The motivation is to demonstrate how to use some of the numerous extensibility planes in the Spring framework to adapt the framework to your particular needs. Spring provides numerous SPIs for just this sort of thing. Need to handle batch processing against a custom source? Write a Spring Batch ItemSource. Want to listen for events in an external system? Write a Spring Integration adapter. Want to work with a new, transactional resource? Implement a PlatformTransactionManager. Want to render custom Spring MVC views? Implement the Spring MVC View. Want to talk to a custom RESTful endpoint? Implement an HttpMessageConverter. In this talk, Josh explores some of the powerful components that - while useful, were designed to be extended.
