Appendix B. Managing Spring Batch Admin
Spring Batch Admin is a web-based administration console for Spring Batch. With it, you can monitor the execution of batch jobs and start and stop executions. You can make Spring Batch Admin the only entry point in your batch infrastructure, because it provides all the features to manage and monitor the behavior of your jobs. In addition, if you find a missing feature, you can implement it and contribute it back to the project, because Spring Batch Admin is an open source project.
Spring Batch Admin builds on top of Spring technologies like the Spring Framework, Spring MVC, and Spring Integration. Spring Batch Admin is a full-blown web application, but it remains easy to configure and deploy. This appendix shows you how to deploy a Spring Batch Admin instance in a couple of minutes. Even if your Spring Batch Admin instance runs on top of an embedded database, it will be helpful for you to discover the web console. You’ll also see how to deploy Spring Batch Admin in its own web application and how to make it cohabit with other applications inside the same web application.
