This version is still in development and is not considered stable yet. For the latest stable version, please use Spring Batch Documentation 5.1.2!spring-doc.cn

Despite the relatively short list of required dependencies for a Step, it is an extremely complex class that can potentially contain many collaborators.spring-doc.cn

When using Java configuration, you can use the Spring Batch builders, as the following example shows:spring-doc.cn

Java Configuration
/**
 * Note the JobRepository is typically autowired in and not needed to be explicitly
 * configured
 */
@Bean
public Job sampleJob(JobRepository jobRepository, Step sampleStep) {
    return new JobBuilder("sampleJob", jobRepository)
                .start(sampleStep)
                .build();
}

/**
 * Note the TransactionManager is typically autowired in and not needed to be explicitly
 * configured
 */
@Bean
public Step sampleStep(JobRepository jobRepository, (2)
		PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager) { (1)
	return new StepBuilder("sampleStep", jobRepository)
				.<String, String>chunk(10, transactionManager) (3)
				.reader(itemReader())
				.writer(itemWriter())
				.build();
}
1 transactionManager: Spring’s PlatformTransactionManager that begins and commits transactions during processing.
2 repository: The Java-specific name of the JobRepository that periodically stores the StepExecution and ExecutionContext during processing (just before committing).
3 chunk: The Java-specific name of the dependency that indicates that this is an item-based step and the number of items to be processed before the transaction is committed.
Note that repository defaults to jobRepository (provided through @EnableBatchProcessing) and transactionManager defaults to transactionManager (provided from the application context). Also, the ItemProcessor is optional, since the item could be directly passed from the reader to the writer.

To ease configuration, you can use the Spring Batch XML namespace, as the following example shows:spring-doc.cn

XML Configuration
<job id="sampleJob" job-repository="jobRepository"> (2)
    <step id="step1">
        <tasklet transaction-manager="transactionManager"> (1)
            <chunk reader="itemReader" writer="itemWriter" commit-interval="10"/> (3)
        </tasklet>
    </step>
</job>
1 transaction-manager: Spring’s PlatformTransactionManager that begins and commits transactions during processing.
2 job-repository: The XML-specific name of the JobRepository that periodically stores the StepExecution and ExecutionContext during processing (just before committing). For an in-line <step/> (one defined within a <job/>), it is an attribute on the <job/> element. For a standalone <step/>, it is defined as an attribute of the <tasklet/>.
3 commit-interval: The XML-specific name of the number of items to be processed before the transaction is committed.
Note that job-repository defaults to jobRepository and transaction-manager defaults to transactionManager. Also, the ItemProcessor is optional, since the item could be directly passed from the reader to the writer.

The preceding configuration includes the only required dependencies to create a item-oriented step:spring-doc.cn

  • reader: The ItemReader that provides items for processing.spring-doc.cn

  • writer: The ItemWriter that processes the items provided by the ItemReader.spring-doc.cn
