The feed configuration bean

Any bean in a job can be defined outside of the job element as a standalone bean. This is useful when the same configuration appears more than once and can help minimize the amount of detail in the job for improved readability. The feed configuration bean is a good candidate for a referenced bean. This allows the administrator to specify configuration options that are common to multiple instances of the same type of collector.

The following shows an example of the structure of a feedConfig bean. The id attribute is only necessary if the bean is intended to stand outside of the job.

<bean id="csvFeedConfig" class="com.cloudcruiser.batch.collect.FlatFileFeedConfig">
  <property name= "..." />
  ​<property name= "..." />
  ​...
</bean>
