Multiple itemwriters in Spring batch

Question

I am currently writing a Spring batch where I am reading a chunk of data, processing it and then I wish to pass this data to 2 writers. One writer would simply update the da

Answer 1

Depending on your need, another option is to extend the Writer class and add functionality there. For example, I have a project where I am extending HibernateItemWriter and then overriding write(List items). I then send the objects I am writing along with my sessionFactory to the doWrite method of the Writer: doWrite(sessionFactory, filteredRecords).

So in the example above, I could write to the csv file in my extended class and then the HibernateItemWriter would write to the database. Obviously this might not be ideal for this example, but for certain scenarios it is a nice option.
