Can the Spring Framework be used for batch applications?

command-line, frameworks, java, spring, spring-batch

Solution

There's a Spring project for that.

Problem

My company is switching to Spring for our Java framework, and from what I understand it will work well for that, but we also have many Java batch applications*. Does Spring have adequate support for running batch applications? What features of spring will be useful in this environment, and won't work at all? * Java command line programs that run backend processes.
