Batch and hibernate

[amin ta]

Hi ,

I am Investigating the best practices on how to combine spring batch with hibernate ?

Is it better to use spring hibernate hybrid like HibernateCursorItemReader or separate dataservice and call it via item reader/writer adapter ?

I assume the transaction handling & commit interval will be tricky if we are going to use adapter ? compare to native
HibernateCursorItemReader ?

can I have the forum view on the above ? and what is the best practices ?

thanks

For readers from a DB you have two options Cursor and Page

I suggest you read HibernatePagingItemReader<T>

In Spring Batch Reference documentation should exists material showing the differences between them

So you prefer using hibernate item reader/writer instead of reader/writer adapter ? I am bit concern about transaction , if i create adapter, the hibernate data service will deal with transaction and spring batch cant control that transaction.. i assume the spring batch lose transaction control, is not better to use hibernatepaging or cursor ?
