Spring batchframework

[Alarmnummer]

I heard from a colleague that Rod Johnson said something on Javapolis about adding batch support in the Spring framework. Does anyone have more information about it?

Was this just a throw away comment, or did your colleague say Rod gave anymore away?

I've heard Rod say that aswell, but I can't remember the details on that anymore.

I did wonder what value batch support would add over the current scheduling possibilities?

Batch processing could be the infrastructure based on top of the scheduling/runnable-processing functionality. It could be distribution of chunks/batches, ordering of chunks, lifecyclemanagement of batches/chunks etc.

I think this would be a great addition on top of the Executor framework of java.util.concurrent. If I can define my batch workflow based on metaphors like fork-join, pipelines etc. either through a DSL, scripting languages or at least XML and then have the Spring batch framework act on it ..
