Updating database while writing to flat files

[ravikanth.bapathi]

Hi,

I am using a flat file writer to write a flatfile, mean while i will also have to update couple of fields in database for the
respective records.

I am already using a classifier to identify the correct writer, 1) java writer that processes some business logic
2) flat file writer that writes content to a file.

i am able to update status as a part of java writer by invoking a dao for that corresponding record.
i need to update the status in case of flat file writer

the configuration of flatfile writer is part of xml config.

what is the best way to update the DB in case (2) ?

Take a look at the CompositeItemWriter. You can use that to write to multiple ItemWriters with the same items.
