Namespace Support
Dedicated XML namespace support was added to Spring Batch Integration in version 1.3, with the aim to provide an easier configuration experience. To use the namespace, add the following namespace declarations to your Spring XML Application Context file:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:batch-int="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch-integration"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch-integration
https://www.springframework.org/schema/batch-integration/spring-batch-integration.xsd">
...
</beans>The following example shows a fully configured Spring XML application context file for Spring Batch Integration:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:int="http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration"
xmlns:batch="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch"
xmlns:batch-int="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch-integration"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch-integration
https://www.springframework.org/schema/batch-integration/spring-batch-integration.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch
https://www.springframework.org/schema/batch/spring-batch.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
https://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration
https://www.springframework.org/schema/integration/spring-integration.xsd">
...
</beans>Appending version numbers to the referenced XSD file is also allowed. However, because a version-less declaration always uses the latest schema, we generally do not recommend appending the version number to the XSD name. Adding a version number could possibly create issues when updating the Spring Batch Integration dependencies, as they may require more recent versions of the XML schema.
