Summary

This project showcases the integration of Spring Batch and Spring Boot to process and serve data. It is organized into two subprojects:

• Batch: a Spring Batch application.
• MS: a Spring Boot microservice.

Follow the instructions below to set up and run the applications.

Prerequisites

• Java 21
• Maven 3.9+

Getting Started

To get started, follow these steps:

Using IntelliJ IDEA

1. Clone the repository.
2. Open the project in IntelliJ IDEA.
3. Press 'Run' on the respective main class of each subproject:
   • Run Batch first to initiate the batch processing.
   • Once Batch has completed, a folder named DB will be created at the project root. This folder will contain an H2 database file from which the microservice will retrieve data.
   • Run MS to start the microservice.

Using Command Line

Alternatively, you can use Maven to compile the JAR files and run them from the command line:

# Run Batch
cd Batch
mvn clean install
java -jar target/batch-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

# Start MS after running batch
cd ../MS
mvn clean install
java -jar target/ms-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
