In the chapter, we learned how to create Spring-based batch applications to read CSV files. We have also illustrated how Spring Batch can be used to read XML files. The most advanced topic was to partition the jobs and run the jobs into separate threads. We have also integrated Spring Batch with Quartz Scheduler.

We have demonstrated writing simple test cases using Spring Batch. We also used listeners to intercept a job defined to perform certain operations and have demonstrated certain configurations.
