The slides in are in the presentation directory (spring-batch-workshop.pdf).

• hello world: writing "Hello World" on the console
• chunk processing: simple illustration of the chunk processing
• flat file reading: reading from a flat file (and writing to a database)
• skip: skipping a badly formatted line in a CSV file instead of crashing
• dynamic job parameters: passing parameters to job artefacts (e.g. input file to an item reader)
• JDBC paging: reading large result sets from a database using paging
• execution metadata: seeing how Spring Batch stores execution metadata to enable restart and ease monitoring
• scheduling: using Spring scheduling support to execute a job periodically
• item processor: embedding business logic in an ItemProcessor
• logging skipped items: using a skip listener to log skipped items
• file reading partitioning: multithreading reading and processing of files
• file dropping launching: launching a job when there's a new file on a FTP server
• database reading partitioning: reading categorized items from a database and writing them to files

TBD:

To get the code, two solutions:

just type the following command: $ git clone git://github.com/acogoluegnes/Spring-Batch-Workshop.git

There's a "Downloads" link on the github webpage to download an archive.

The projects are based on Maven, so any IDE with Maven support should be fine (import the projects as Maven projects with Eclipse and the M2Eclipse plugin for example).

To check that everything is fine, go to the root of the project and launch the tests: $ mvn test

Each Spring Batch topic is covered by two projects: the -start project is the one you should start from. The -solution is the solution. You just need to follow the TODOs. The concepts are (quickly) covered in the PDF file in the presentation directory. The PDF contains additional instructions and hints to work on the projects.
