Preventing State Persistence

By default, all of the ItemReader and ItemWriter implementations store their current state in the ExecutionContext before it is committed. However, this may not always be the desired behavior. For example, many developers choose to make their database readers 'rerunnable' by using a process indicator. An extra column is added to the input data to indicate whether or not it has been processed. When a particular record is being read (or written) the processed flag is flipped from false to true. The SQL statement can then contain an extra statement in the where clause, such as where PROCESSED_IND = false, thereby ensuring that only unprocessed records are returned in the case of a restart. In this scenario, it is preferable to not store any state, such as the current row number, since it is irrelevant upon restart. For this reason, all readers and writers include the 'saveState' property.spring-doc.cn

The following bean definition shows how to prevent state persistence in Java:spring-doc.cn

Java Configuration
@Bean
public JdbcCursorItemReader playerSummarizationSource(DataSource dataSource) {
	return new JdbcCursorItemReaderBuilder<PlayerSummary>()
				.dataSource(dataSource)
				.rowMapper(new PlayerSummaryMapper())
				.saveState(false)
				.sql("SELECT games.player_id, games.year_no, SUM(COMPLETES),"
				  + "SUM(ATTEMPTS), SUM(PASSING_YARDS), SUM(PASSING_TD),"
				  + "SUM(INTERCEPTIONS), SUM(RUSHES), SUM(RUSH_YARDS),"
				  + "SUM(RECEPTIONS), SUM(RECEPTIONS_YARDS), SUM(TOTAL_TD)"
				  + "from games, players where players.player_id ="
				  + "games.player_id group by games.player_id, games.year_no")
				.build();

}

The following bean definition shows how to prevent state persistence in XML:spring-doc.cn

XML Configuration
<bean id="playerSummarizationSource" class="org.spr...JdbcCursorItemReader">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    <property name="rowMapper">
        <bean class="org.springframework.batch.samples.PlayerSummaryMapper" />
    </property>
    <property name="saveState" value="false" />
    <property name="sql">
        <value>
            SELECT games.player_id, games.year_no, SUM(COMPLETES),
            SUM(ATTEMPTS), SUM(PASSING_YARDS), SUM(PASSING_TD),
            SUM(INTERCEPTIONS), SUM(RUSHES), SUM(RUSH_YARDS),
            SUM(RECEPTIONS), SUM(RECEPTIONS_YARDS), SUM(TOTAL_TD)
            from games, players where players.player_id =
            games.player_id group by games.player_id, games.year_no
        </value>
    </property>
</bean>

The ItemReader configured above does not make any entries in the ExecutionContext for any executions in which it participates.spring-doc.cn
