XmlItemReader and XmlItemWriter

jberet-support module includes xmlItemReader and xmlItemWriter to handle XML chunk-oriented data. xmlItemReader reads and binds data to instances of custom POJO bean provided by the batch application.

xmlItemReader and xmlItemWriter leverages jackson and jackson-dataformat-xml libraries to handle XML data parsing and binding. The following jackson dependencies are required:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
    <version>${version.com.fasterxml.jackson}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>${version.com.fasterxml.jackson}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
    <version>${version.com.fasterxml.jackson}</version>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-dataformat-xml</artifactId>
    <version>${version.com.fasterxml.jackson}</version>
</dependency>

<!-- POJO beans may contain either jackson annotations, or JAXB annotations -->
<!-- Include this dependency if JAXB annotation introspector is needed -->

Batch Configuration Properties in Job XML

xmlItemReader and xmlItemWriter are configured through <reader> or <writer> batch properties in job xml. All properties are of type String, unless noted otherwise. The following is an example job xml that references xmlItemReader and xmlItemWriter:

<job id="XmlItemReaderTest" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" version="1.0">
    <step id="XmlItemReaderTest.step1">
        <chunk item-count="100">
            <reader ref="xmlItemReader">
                <properties>
                    <property name="resource" value="#{jobParameters['resource']}"/>
                    <property name="start" value="1"/>
                    <property name="end" value="#{jobParameters['end']}"/>
                    <property name="beanType" value="org.jberet.support.io.Movie"/>
                </properties>
            </reader>
            <writer ref="xmlItemWriter">
                <properties>
                    <property name="resource" value="#{jobParameters['writeResource']}"/>
                    <property name="rootElementName" value="movies"/>
                    <property name="writeMode" value="#{jobParameters['writeMode']}?:overwrite;"/>
                    <!--<property name="prettyPrinter" value="com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util.MinimalPrettyPrinter"/>-->
                </properties>
            </writer>
        </chunk>
    </step>
</job>

Batch Properties for Both xmlItemReader and xmlItemWriter

resource

The resource to read from (for batch readers), or write to (for batch writers).

xmlFactoryLookup

JNDI lookup name for com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.XmlFactory, which is used for constructing com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.deser.FromXmlParser in xmlItemReader and com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.ser.ToXmlGenerator in xmlItemWriter. See class org.jberet.support.io.XmlFactoryObjectFactory for more details.

customDataTypeModules

A comma-separated list of Jackson datatype module type ids that extend com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.Module. These modules will be registered with xmlMapper. For example,

com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.joda.JodaModule, com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.jsr353.JSR353Module, com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.jsr310.JSR310Module, com.fasterxml.jackson.module.afterburner.AfterburnerModule

Batch Properties for xmlItemReader Only

In addition to the above common properties, xmlItemReader also supports the following batch properties in job xml:

skipBeanValidation

boolean

Indicates whether the current batch reader will invoke Bean Validation API to validate the incoming data POJO. Optional property and defaults to false, i.e., the reader will validate data POJO bean where appropriate.

beanType

java.lang.Class

The bean class that represents individual data item in the resource XML, and the readItem() method reads one item at a time and binds it to the provided bean type. Required property. For example,

  • org.jberet.support.io.StockTrade
  • org.jberet.support.io.Person
  • my.own.custom.ItemBean

start

int

Specifies the start position (a positive integer starting from 1) to read the data. If reading from the beginning of the input XML, there is no need to specify this property.

end

int

Specify the end position in the data set (inclusive). Optional property, and defaults to Integer.MAX_VALUE. If reading till the end of the input XML, there is no need to specify this property.

inputDecorator

java.lang.Class

Fully-qualified class name of com.fasterxml.jackson.core.io.InputDecorator, which can be used to decorate input sources. Optional property, and defaults to null. See com.fasterxml.jackson.core.io.InputDecorator, and com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonFactory#setInputDecorator(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.io.InputDecorator) for more details.

xmlTextElementName

Alternate "virtual name" to use for XML CDATA segments; that is, text values. Optional property and defaults to null (empty String, "", is used as the virtual name). See com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.JacksonXmlModule#setXMLTextElementName(java.lang.String) for more details.

Batch Properties for xmlItemWriter Only

In addition to the above common properties, xmlItemWriter also supports the following batch properties in job xml:

writeMode

Instructs this class, when the target XML resource already exists, whether to append to, or overwrite the existing resource, or fail. Valid values are "append", "overwrite", and "failIfExists". Optional property, and defaults to append.

defaultUseWrapper

Whether use wrapper for indexed (List, array) properties or not, if there are no explicit annotations. Optional property, valid values are "true" and "false", and defaults to "true". See com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.JacksonXmlModule#setDefaultUseWrapper(boolean), and com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.annotation.JacksonXmlElementWrapper for more details.

rootElementName

Local name of the output XML root element. Required property. See javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter#writeStartElement for more details.

rootElementPrefix

The prefix of the XML root element tag. Optional property and defaults to null. See javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter#writeStartElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) for more details.

rootElementNamespaceURI

The namespaceURI of the prefix to use. Optional property and defaults to null. See javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter#writeStartElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String), and javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter#writeStartElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) for more details.

prettyPrinter

java.lang.Class

The fully-qualified class name of com.fasterxml.jackson.core.PrettyPrinter, which implements pretty printer functionality, such as indentation. Optional property and defaults to null (default pretty printer is used). See com.fasterxml.jackson.core.PrettyPrinter, and com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.ser.ToXmlGenerator#setPrettyPrinter(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.PrettyPrinter) for more details.
