Best Practices on Setting up Standalone Archi

[lynchd1]

Hi,
Planning on replacing our existing batch archi with Spring Batch - would grow to a large batch integration with possibly 300+ concurrent jobs. Looking to find out more on best practices on the following:

1) How best to execute the job jar files
2) Which are the basic dependant libraries needed to load - for running without a container
3) and how best to organize the file structure - logging etc..

Any info you could provide on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The following is what Don and the rest of the team finally worked out. Just thought we'd post the answer to our own question .

First we took the required dependent JAR files from our Maven local Repo and moved them to a local RunTime Directory:

c:\batch\repository

Next we created a script that would place all the dependent JAR's in our Class Path

[b]Note[b] the last CP entry is to our Batch App Jar file "af2f.jar"

Next we have a script to kick off the command line job.

java -classpath %CP% org.springframework.batch.core.launch.support.CommandLineJobRunner application-context.xml ioSampleJob
