Concurrent jobs - queue

[Durden]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to execute multiple jobs with queuing, each job must be finished before next starts. Does Spring batch support this out-of-the-box?

Short answer: "no". People who need this feature usually either set up a sequence of JobSteps or use an enterprise scheduler, depending on scope, taste and budget.

There are also some steps in this direction in Spring Batch Admin (JobLauncherSynchronizer), and this is where that kind of feature will eventually mature I expect.
