Java Batch - JSR 352

[jgrieb]

With JSR-352 now in 1.0 draft status, I was hoping someone could comment on Spring Batch's intentions to support that emerging standard. Obviously, Spring has representation on the expert group, but it looks like the reference implementation will be authored by IBM.

Given that this is a very fluid JSR, I know all decisions are not yet solidified, but any comments on the general approach would be greatly appreciated.

I wish to express my concern.

I fear that IBM may try to "promote" their batch processing API (IBM XD) to the rank of "official standard". Gaining an advantage respect to SB, so in enterpreise environments would become more difficult to propose and use SB.

I have no prejudices against them, it's just that:

• I consider better SB
• Economic interests of a megavendor, usually not align with those aspiring to the excellence

Please: battle, so that the JSR-352 result a well-done specification.

I judged with bad faith.

I just finished reading the draft of the JSR specification.

The result is much more similar to SB than the IBM's XD XJCL specification.
I am pleasantly impressed.
