How to java-configure separate datasources for spring batch data and business data? Should I even do it?

Question

My main job does only read operations and the other one does some writing but on MyISAM engine which ignores transactions, so I wouldn\'t require necessarily tr

Answer 1

Have you tried something like this already?

@Bean(name="batchDataSource")
public DataSource batchDataSource(){          
       return DataSourceBuilder.create()
                .url(env.getProperty("batchdb.url"))
                .driverClassName(env.getProperty("batchdb.driver"))
                .username(env.getProperty("batchdb.username"))
                .password(env.getProperty("batchdb.password"))
                .build();          
} 

and then mark the other datasource with a @Primary, and use an @Qualifier in your batch config to specify that you want to auotwire the batchDataSource bean.
