XML job scripting language

This section contains the following articles:

Cloud Cruiser jobs are defined using XML based on the Spring Batch framework. For more information on this framework, go to http://static.springsource.org/spring-batch/. There are typically two schemas involved: a bean schema for defining Java beans, and a batch schema to define the job as a series of steps.

A job is usually the process of running a data collector, aggregating the results, determining who to bill, applying charges, and finally loading the results into the database. Jobs are typically automated to run on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

A library of Javadoc API documentation is installed at <install_dir>/docs/api/batch. To get started, open index.html and select the com.cloudcruiser.batch package. JavaBeans are organized into packages, such as collection, transform, and filter. Spring Batch XML examples are included throughout the documentation.
