Spring Batch

Awesome but complex presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYTj5YT7CZU by Michael Minella https://github.com/mminella

Michael Minella is the author of Pro Spring Batch

This book https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/spring-batch-essentials Spring Batch Essentials is probably more suitable for beginners.

On the whole I was not too impressed with the product. Fine, it provides a nice model and framework, but its reliance on XML configuration is a VERY bad choice - the usual frightening experience of visual cacophony with XML hits hard on my nerve.... why not JSON, or better still, why not a Java configurator.... in general the examples with Spring syntax (Cast) context.lookup("mybean") is simply unreadable, and very much against Dependency Injection style.

In addition, Batch processing was added Java EE7. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/batch-1965499.html
