# Spring Batch [![build status](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/actions/workflows/continuous-integration.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/actions/workflows/continuous-integration.yml) Spring Batch is a lightweight, comprehensive batch framework designed to enable the development of robust batch applications vital for the daily operations of enterprise systems. Spring Batch builds upon the productivity, POJO-based development approach, and general ease of use capabilities people have come to know from the [Spring Framework](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework), while making it easy for developers to access and leverage more advanced enterprise services when necessary. # Getting Started ## Two minutes tutorial This quick tutorial shows you how to setup a minimal project to run a simple batch job with Spring Batch. In your favorite IDE, create a new Maven-based Java 17+ project and add the following dependencies: ```xml org.springframework.batch spring-batch-core ${LATEST_VERSION} org.hsqldb hsqldb ${LATEST_VERSION} runtime ``` Then, create a configuration class to define the datasource and transaction manager that will be used by the job repository: ```java import javax.sql.DataSource; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; import org.springframework.jdbc.support.JdbcTransactionManager; import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.embedded.EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder; @Configuration public class DataSourceConfiguration { @Bean public DataSource dataSource() { return new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder() .addScript("/org/springframework/batch/core/schema-hsqldb.sql") .build(); } @Bean public JdbcTransactionManager transactionManager(DataSource dataSource) { return new JdbcTransactionManager(dataSource); } } ``` In this tutorial, an embedded [HSQLDB](http://www.hsqldb.org) database is created and initialized with Spring Batch's meta-data tables. Finally, create a class to define the batch job: ```java import org.springframework.batch.core.Job; import org.springframework.batch.core.JobParameters; import org.springframework.batch.core.Step; import org.springframework.batch.core.configuration.annotation.EnableBatchProcessing; import org.springframework.batch.core.job.builder.JobBuilder; import org.springframework.batch.core.launch.JobLauncher; import org.springframework.batch.core.repository.JobRepository; import org.springframework.batch.core.step.builder.StepBuilder; import org.springframework.batch.repeat.RepeatStatus; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import; import org.springframework.jdbc.support.JdbcTransactionManager; @Configuration @EnableBatchProcessing @Import(DataSourceConfiguration.class) public class HelloWorldJobConfiguration { @Bean public Step step(JobRepository jobRepository, JdbcTransactionManager transactionManager) { return new StepBuilder("step", jobRepository).tasklet((contribution, chunkContext) -> { System.out.println("Hello world!"); return RepeatStatus.FINISHED; }, transactionManager).build(); } @Bean public Job job(JobRepository jobRepository, Step step) { return new JobBuilder("job", jobRepository).start(step).build(); } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { ApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(HelloWorldJobConfiguration.class); JobLauncher jobLauncher = context.getBean(JobLauncher.class); Job job = context.getBean(Job.class); jobLauncher.run(job, new JobParameters()); } } ``` The job in this tutorial is composed of a single step that prints "Hello world!" to the standard output. You can now run the `main` method of the `HelloWorldJobConfiguration` class to launch the job. The output should be similar to the following: ``` INFO: Finished Spring Batch infrastructure beans configuration in 8 ms. INFO: Starting embedded database: url='jdbc:hsqldb:mem:testdb', username='sa' INFO: No database type set, using meta data indicating: HSQL INFO: No Micrometer observation registry found, defaulting to ObservationRegistry.NOOP INFO: No TaskExecutor has been set, defaulting to synchronous executor. INFO: Job: [SimpleJob: [name=job]] launched with the following parameters: [{}] INFO: Executing step: [step] Hello world! INFO: Step: [step] executed in 10ms INFO: Job: [SimpleJob: [name=job]] completed with the following parameters: [{}] and the following status: [COMPLETED] in 25ms ``` ## Getting Started Guide This guide is a more realistic tutorial that shows a typical ETL batch job that reads data from a flat file, transforms it and writes it to a relational database. It is a Spring Batch project based on Spring Boot. You find the Getting Started Guide here: [Creating a Batch Service](https://spring.io/guides/gs/batch-processing/). ## Samples You can find several samples to try out here: [Spring Batch Samples](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/tree/main/spring-batch-samples). # Getting Help If you have a question or a support request, please open a new discussion on [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/discussions) or ask a question on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/spring-batch). Please do **not** create issues on the [Issue Tracker](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/issues) for questions or support requests. We would like to keep the issue tracker **exclusively** for bug reports and feature requests. # Reporting issues Spring Batch uses [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/issues) to record bugs and feature requests. If you want to raise an issue, please follow the recommendations below: * Before you open an issue, please search the issue tracker to see if someone has already reported the problem. If the issue doesn't already exist, create a new issue. * Please provide as much information as possible in the issue report by following the [Issue Reporting Template](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md). * If you need to paste code or include a stack trace, please use Markdown escapes (```) before and after your text. For non trivial bugs, please create a test case or a project that replicates the problem and attach it to the issue, as detailed in the [Issue Reporting Guidelines](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/blob/main/ISSUE_REPORTING.md). # Reporting Security Vulnerabilities Please see our [Security policy](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/security/policy). # Building from Source ## Using the Command Line Clone the git repository using the URL on the Github home page: $ git clone git@github.com:spring-projects/spring-batch.git $ cd spring-batch Maven is the build tool used for Spring Batch. You can build the project with the following command: $ ./mvnw package If you want to perform a full build with all integration tests, then run: $ ./mvnw verify Please note that some integration tests are based on Docker, so please make sure to have Docker up and running before running a full build. To generate the reference documentation, run the following commands: ``` $ cd spring-batch-docs $ ../mvnw antora:antora ``` The reference documentation can be found in `spring-batch-docs/target/anotra/site`. ## Using Docker If you want to build the project in a Docker container, you can proceed as follows: ``` $> docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-batch maven:3-openjdk-17 bash #> cd spring-batch #> ./mvnw package ``` This will mount the source code that you cloned previously on the host inside the container. If you want to work on a copy of the source code inside the container (no side effects on the host), you can proceed as follows: ``` $> docker run -it maven:3-openjdk-17 bash #> git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch.git #> cd spring-batch #> ./mvnw package ``` # Contributing to Spring Batch We welcome contributions in any kind!
