Spring boot + spring batch without DataSource

Question

I\'m trying to configure spring batch inside spring boot project and I want to use it without data source. I\'ve found that ResourcelessTransactionManager is th

We had the similar problem, we were using spring boot JDBC and we did not want to store spring batch tables in the DB, but we still wanted to use spring's transaction management for our DataSource.

We ended up implementing own BatchConfigurer.

@Component
public class TablelessBatchConfigurer implements BatchConfigurer {
    private final PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager;
    private final JobRepository jobRepository;
    private final JobLauncher jobLauncher;
    private final JobExplorer jobExplorer;
    private final DataSource dataSource;

    @Autowired
    public TablelessBatchConfigurer(DataSource dataSource) {
        this.dataSource = dataSource;
        this.transactionManager = new DataSourceTransactionManager(this.dataSource);

        try {
            final MapJobRepositoryFactoryBean jobRepositoryFactory = new MapJobRepositoryFactoryBean(this.transactionManager);
            jobRepositoryFactory.afterPropertiesSet();
            this.jobRepository = jobRepositoryFactory.getObject();

            final MapJobExplorerFactoryBean jobExplorerFactory = new MapJobExplorerFactoryBean(jobRepositoryFactory);
            jobExplorerFactory.afterPropertiesSet();
            this.jobExplorer = jobExplorerFactory.getObject();

            final SimpleJobLauncher simpleJobLauncher = new SimpleJobLauncher();
            simpleJobLauncher.setJobRepository(this.jobRepository);
            simpleJobLauncher.afterPropertiesSet();
            this.jobLauncher = simpleJobLauncher;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new BatchConfigurationException(e);
        }
    }
    // ... override getters
}

and setting up initializer to false

spring.batch.initializer.enabled=false
