The Quarkus JBeret Extension adds support for JSR-352 Batch Applications for the Java Platform. JBeret is an implementation of the JSR-352.

To use the extension, add the dependency to the target project:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.quarkiverse.jberet</groupId>
  <artifactId>quarkus-jberet</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

ℹ️ Recommended Quarkus version: 2.6.2.Final or higher

⚠️ JBeret requires running with --add-opens=java.base/java.security=ALL-UNNAMED for JDK 17

The Batch API and Runtime will be available out of the box. Please refer to the Batch documentation, or the JBeret documentation to learn about Batch Applications.

The JBeret Quarkus extension supports the following configuration:

The Batch API requires the @BatchProperty annotation to inject the specific configuration from the batch definition file. Instead, you can use the @ConfigProperty annotation, which is used to inject configuration properties in Quarkus using the MicroProfile Config API and keep consistency:

@Inject
@BatchProperty(name = "job.config.name")
String batchConfig;

// These is equivalent to @BatchProperty injection
@ConfigProperty(name = "job.config.name")
Optional<String> mpConfig;

Although, there is a slight limitation: since job configuration is mostly dynamic and only injected on job execution, Quarkus may fail to start due to invalid configuration (can't find the Job configuration values). In this case, configuration injection points with the @ConfigProperty annotation need to set a default value or use an Optional.

The Batch APIs JobOperator and JobRepository are available as CDI beans, so they can be injected directly into any code:

@Inject
JobOperator jobOperator;
@Inject
JobRepository jobRepository;

void start() {
    long executionId = jobOperator.start("batchlet", new Properties());
    JobExecution jobExecution = jobRepository.getJobExecution(executionId);
}

Specific Quarkus implementation is available in QuarkusJobOperator, which can be also injected directly:

@Inject
QuarkusJobOperator jobOperator;

void start() {
    Job job = new JobBuilder("programmatic")
            .step(new StepBuilder("programmaticStep")
                    .batchlet("programmaticBatchlet")
                    .build())
            .build();
    
    long executionId = jobOperator.start(job, new Properties());
    JobExecution jobExecution = jobOperator.getJobExecution(executionId);
}

With QuarkusJobOperator it is possible to define and start programmatic Jobs, with the JBeret Programmatic Job Definition.

The JBeret Scheduler is integrated out of the box in this extension.

To schedule a Job execution, please refer to the quarkus.jberet.job."job-name".cron and
quarkus.jberet.job."job-name".params."param-key" configurations.

A Job can also be scheduled programmatically, using the JobScheduler API and the Quarkus startup event:

@ApplicationScoped
public class Scheduler {
    @Inject
    JobScheduler jobScheduler;

    void onStart(@Observes StartupEvent startupEvent) {
        final JobScheduleConfig scheduleConfig = JobScheduleConfigBuilder.newInstance()
                .jobName("scheduler")
                .initialDelay(0)
                .build();

        jobScheduler.schedule(scheduleConfig);
    }
}

The JobScheduler does not support persistent schedules.

The JBeret REST is integrated as separate extension that can be easily added to the target project with the following dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.quarkiverse.jberet</groupId>
  <artifactId>quarkus-jberet-rest</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.4</version>
</dependency>

The JBeret REST API, provides REST resources to several operations around the Batch API: starting and stopping jobs, querying the status of a job, schedule a job, and many more. The extension includes a REST client to simplify the REST API calls:

@Inject
BatchClient batchClient;

void start() throws Exception {
    JobExecutionEntity jobExecutionEntity = batchClient.startJob("batchlet", new Properties());
}

Example applications can be found inside the integration-tests folder:

• chunk - A simple Job that reads, processes, and stores data from a file.
• jdbc-repository - A Job that uses a jdbc datasource to store JBeret and Job metadata.
• scheduler - Schedule a Job to run every 10 seconds

Or take a look into the World of Warcraft Auctions - Batch Application. It downloads the World of Warcraft Auction House data and provides statistics about items prices.

The Quakus JBeret Extension fully supports the Graal VM Native Image with the following exceptions:

• Scripting Languages. While Javascript should work, it is unlikely that other scripting languages will be supported in Graal via JSR-223.
