This is a spring batch demo application using the org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-batch
. The batch is pulling records from a database, process them and insert the processed records back into a new database table.
The project aims to provide a simple example of how to use spring batch to read records from a database table, process them and insert the results into another database table. We will use gradle as our build tool, MySQL as our database.
- Input for the batch - the batch will read records from
reader
table -id
,firstName
,lastName
andrandom_num
. - Processing - the batch will process input and join the
firstName
andlastName
to generate thefull_name
attribute. - Output of the batch - the batch will then output and write the data into
writer
table with attributes -id
,full_name
andrandom_num
(generated at run time).
You can clone this project git clone https://github.com/vikramgulia/spring-batch.git
, run it and expand it further. Or read the tutorial below to start from scratch.
we will set up the build.gradle
in project directory with plugin java
and spring-boot
. Also, we will add following dependencies -
spring-boot-starter-batch
- to pull in spring batch classes.spring-boot-starter-data-jpa
- to handle the datasource and pull inspring-jdbc
dependencies.mysql-connector-java
- java connector for MySQL database.
spring-boot
plugin that collects all the jars on the classpath and builds a single, runnable archive jar, which makes it more easier to execute the service.
Here is what our build.gradle looks like -
build.gradle
group 'com.barley.batch'
version '1.0.0'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
jar {
baseName = 'spring-batch'
}
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.1.RELEASE')
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-batch')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa') {
exclude group: "org.slf4j", module: "log4j-over-slf4j"
exclude group: "ch.qos.logback", module: "logback-classic"
}
compile('mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.38')
testCompile('junit:junit')
}
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '2.3'
}
We will add 2 classes to handle our model i.e. input and output data. Here, our input is RecordSO
and output is WriterSO
. See classes below which we created in package com.barley.batch.model
in main/java
-
src/main/java/com/barley/batch/model/RecordSO.java
package com.barley.batch.model;
public class RecordSO {
private long id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String randomNum;
public long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getRandomNum() {
return randomNum;
}
public void setRandomNum(String randomNum) {
this.randomNum = randomNum;
}
}
src/main/java/com/barley/batch/model/WriterSO.java
package com.barley.batch.model;
public class WriterSO {
private long id;
private String fullName;
private String randomNum;
public long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getFullName() {
return fullName;
}
public void setFullName(String fullName) {
this.fullName = fullName;
}
public String getRandomNum() {
return randomNum;
}
public void setRandomNum(String randomNum) {
this.randomNum = randomNum;
}
}
Now we will set up the processor class which will implement spring interface ItemProcessor<I, O>
. According to it, you receive an incoming RecordSO
object, after which you transform it to a WriterSO
.
src/main/java/com/barley/batch/processor/RecordProcessor.java
package com.barley.batch.processor;
import com.barley.batch.model.RecordSO;
import com.barley.batch.model.WriterSO;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.batch.item.ItemProcessor;
public class RecordProcessor implements ItemProcessor<RecordSO, WriterSO> {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(RecordProcessor.class);
@Override
public WriterSO process(RecordSO item) throws Exception {
LOGGER.info("Processing Record: {}", item);
WriterSO writerSo = new WriterSO();
writerSo.setId(item.getId());
writerSo.setFullName(item.getFirstName() + " " + item.getLastName());
writerSo.setRandomNum(String.valueOf(Math.random()).substring(3, 8));
LOGGER.info("Processed Writer: {}", writerSo);
return writerSo;
}
}
Now, we need to set up some spring datasource properties which will help spring configure primary datasource - create application.properties
in main/resources
-
src/main/resources/application.properties
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/batch
spring.datasource.username=user
spring.datasource.password=pass
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
spring.jpa.show-sql=false
# use below property only if you want spring to use user-configured sql create-drop databases tables. Skip it all tables/data already present.
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop
Let us set up our primary database config. Create DatabaseConfig
in package com.barley.batch.db
in main/java
-
src/main/java/com/barley/batch/db/DatabaseConfig.java
package com.barley.batch.db;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Primary;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
@Configuration
public class DatabaseConfig {
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.datasource")
@Bean
@Primary
public DataSource dataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
}
}
Now, we hook up spring batch components to link up all pieces together - we create the class BatchConfiguration
and use this annotations -
@Configuration
- this tell spring that its a configuration class.@EnableBatchProcessing
- this adds a lot of important beans which will support the batch.
@Configuration
@EnableBatchProcessing
public class BatchConfiguration {
}
Below method creates an ItemReader
which will read records from reader
table from datasource and turn them into RecordSO
.
@Bean
public ItemReader<RecordSO> reader(DataSource dataSource) {
JdbcCursorItemReader<RecordSO> reader = new JdbcCursorItemReader<RecordSO>();
reader.setSql("select id, firstName, lastname, random_num from reader");
reader.setDataSource(dataSource);
reader.setRowMapper(
(ResultSet resultSet, int rowNum) -> {
LOGGER.info("RowMapper resultset: {}", resultSet);
if (!(resultSet.isAfterLast()) && !(resultSet.isBeforeFirst())) {
RecordSO recordSO = new RecordSO();
recordSO.setFirstName(resultSet.getString("firstName"));
recordSO.setLastName(resultSet.getString("lastname"));
recordSO.setId(resultSet.getInt("Id"));
recordSO.setRandomNum(resultSet.getString("random_num"));
LOGGER.info("RowMapper record : {}", recordSO);
return recordSO;
} else {
LOGGER.info("Returning null from rowMapper");
return null;
}
});
return reader;
}
Below method creates an ItemWriter
which will be using the datasouce and will insert the WriterSO
into writer
table. We are setting up teh sql as well which ItemWriter
will use to insert data into table.
@Bean
public ItemWriter<WriterSO> writer(DataSource dataSource, ItemPreparedStatementSetter<WriterSO> setter) {
JdbcBatchItemWriter<WriterSO> writer = new JdbcBatchItemWriter<>();
writer.setItemSqlParameterSourceProvider(new BeanPropertyItemSqlParameterSourceProvider<WriterSO>());
writer.setItemPreparedStatementSetter(setter);
writer.setSql("insert into writer (id, full_name, random_num) values (?,?,?)");
writer.setDataSource(dataSource);
return writer;
}
In the writer above, we set a ItemPreparedStatementSetter
which will help ItemWriter
interpret the sql statement it is using.
@Bean
public ItemPreparedStatementSetter<WriterSO> setter() {
return (item, ps) -> {
ps.setLong(1, item.getId());
ps.setString(2, item.getFullName());
ps.setString(3, item.getRandomNum());
};
}
Hook up our RecordProcessor
in the batch config -
@Bean
public ItemProcessor<RecordSO, WriterSO> processor() {
return new RecordProcessor();
}
Now Spring batch works with concept of jobs, and each job consist of steps where each step can involve a ItemReader
, a ItemProcessor
and a ItemWriter
. So we are going to define a job and set up a step -
@Bean
public Job importUserJob(JobBuilderFactory jobs, Step s1, JobExecutionListener listener) {
return jobs.get("importUserJob")
.incrementer(new RunIdIncrementer())
.listener(listener)
.flow(s1)
.end()
.build();
}
@Bean
public Step step1(StepBuilderFactory stepBuilderFactory, ItemReader<RecordSO> reader,
ItemWriter<WriterSO> writer, ItemProcessor<RecordSO, WriterSO> processor) {
return stepBuilderFactory.get("step1")
.<RecordSO, WriterSO>chunk(5)
.reader(reader)
.processor(processor)
.writer(writer)
.build();
}
@Bean
public JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate(DataSource dataSource) {
return new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
}

.reader(reader)
.processor(processor)
.writer(writer)
.build();
}
@Bean
public JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate(DataSource dataSource) {
return new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
}
}
well, we are pretty much ready but we can configure a listener which helps us hook up into spring batch and get to know when the job is finished. This allows us to execute any logic we want to do after completion of batch.
src/main/java/com/barley/batch/listener/JobCompletionNotificationListener.java
package com.barley.batch.listener;
import com.barley.batch.model.WriterSO;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.batch.core.BatchStatus;
import org.springframework.batch.core.JobExecution;
import org.springframework.batch.core.listener.JobExecutionListenerSupport;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import java.util.List;
@Component
public class JobCompletionNotificationListener extends JobExecutionListenerSupport {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(JobCompletionNotificationListener.class);
@Autowired
private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;
@Override
public void afterJob(JobExecution jobExecution) {
if (jobExecution.getStatus() == BatchStatus.COMPLETED) {
log.info("!!! JOB FINISHED! Time to verify the results");
List<WriterSO> results = jdbcTemplate.query("SELECT id, full_name, random_num FROM writer", (rs, row) -> {
WriterSO writerSO = new WriterSO();
writerSO.setId(rs.getLong("id"));
writerSO.setFullName(rs.getString("full_name"));
writerSO.setRandomNum(rs.getString("random_num"));
return writerSO;
});
for (WriterSO writerSO : results) {
log.info("Found <" + writerSO + "> in the database.");
}
}
}
}
Now, we will have spring create our database tables each time it runs. You can skip this step if you manually have created the tables or tables with data are already present.
src/main/resources/import.sql
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS reader;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS writer;
CREATE TABLE `reader` (`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,`firstName` VARCHAR(20) NULL,`lastName` VARCHAR(20) NULL,`random_num` VARCHAR(20) NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`));
CREATE TABLE `writer` (`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,`full_name` VARCHAR(40) NULL,`random_num` VARCHAR(20) NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`));
INSERT INTO `reader` (`firstName`, `lastName`, `random_num`) VALUES ('abc', 'def', '1');
INSERT INTO `reader` (`firstName`, `lastName`, `random_num`) VALUES ('def', 'zhu', '2');
INSERT INTO `reader` (`firstName`, `lastName`, `random_num`) VALUES ('dummy', 'name', '3');
INSERT INTO `reader` (`firstName`, `lastName`, `random_num`) VALUES ('non', 'pay', '4');
INSERT INTO `reader` (`firstName`, `lastName`, `random_num`) VALUES ('spring', 'batch', '5');
src/main/java/com/barley/batch/Application.java
package com.barley.batch;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
Done. Let us now run our app -
- Go to terminal and use our build tool to run it - run the cmd -
./gradlew build bootRun
.
- ALTERNATIVELY, You can build the jar for the app and then run it - run cmd -
./gradlew build bootRepackage
and then run
java -jar build/libs/spring-batch-1.0.0.jar
.
Here is the expected output -
Job: [FlowJob: [name=importUserJob]] launched with the following parameters: [{run.id=1}]
