How to create a Poller with Spring Batch

[timerons]

hi

we want to poll every 1 minute a directory and read (process) all files that are in there with spring batch.

solution 1:
we call our spring-batch job with a spring-quartz every minute.
problem: if a job would take longer than 1 minute, a second job would start also, how can we prevent this.

solution 2:
we use spring integration poller.
it would be nice solution, but we like to know if it is possible with spring-batch also ;-)

thanks for you help!

You can use Quartz. You can set it up so that it will not start the new batch until the previous one has finished.
