Spring Batch compared to Quartz

[rasmus@lundogbendsen.dk]

I've been trying to figure out, how Spring Batch compares to Quartz, but I haven't been able to find any answers...


Is Spring Batch supposed to be a replacement for Quartz (if so - what is wrong with Quartz)?
Is Spring Batch a supplement / add-on to Quartz (if so - what Quartz shortcommings are you addressing)?
Is Spring Batch a completely different kind of fish than Quartz (if so - what are the different kinds of use cases where you would use Quartz - and when would you use Spring Batch)?

Spring Batch and Quartz have different goals. Spring Batch provides functionality for processing large volumes of data and Quartz provides functionality for scheduling tasks.

So Quartz could complement Spring Batch... so certainly no excluding technologies.

very true. quartz does not provide any batch processing framework. So far projects use their custom framework for batch and tie it up with quartz for scheduling.
