The 124th episode of the Java Spotlight podcast features an interview with JBatch (aka Java Batch, aka Batch Applications for the Java Platform, aka JSR 352) spec lead Chris Vignola of IBM. Chris talks with Roger Brinkley about the history/motivation/value proposition of JBatch, key concepts, API details, best practices as well as the current status for the JSR.
The podcast also covers Java SE, Java EE 7, GlassFish 4 and JavaFX. You can listen to the full podcast here. It is a fairly dense, informative interview from someone who is clearly extremely knowledgible on the batch processing domain.
