Spring Batch and Visual RulesToday I want to show how to use the Spring Batch to execute batch jobs which make use of business rules.
Spring Batch is a framework for managing Enterprise jobs, that is reading, transforming and writing data sets. Batch jobs are often run asynchronously at night and process large amounts of data.
Business rules are used to separate business logic into separate modules, which can be tested and management without touching application source code at all. That also means business rules can be managed and modified by non-developers and even by non-technical business people to some degree.
As business rules, i am using the Movie Ticket Pricing example rule code generated by Visual Rules.
This blog post is rather long and contains a lot of code.
