Do you run Spring Batch in tcServer/Tomcat?

[Jabberz]

Looking through the documentation, it isn't clear if there are any recommended ways to actually run the batch process -- .e.g wrap your spring batch driver in a webapp and run it in an app server, write a standalone process, or some other fancy thing.

Any advice on there on this?

I see roughly 50/50 in the field (i.e. half of users in a servlet container, half standalone). Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
