On this example, we’ll see how to call the existing service and get its data in the ItemReader and process it.

ItemReaderAdapter — Invokes a custom method on a delegate plain old Java object which itself provides an item.

CustomerService.java

@Component
public class CustomerService {
private int curIndex;
private List<Customer> customers;


private String[] firstNames = {"Michael", "Warren", "Ann", "Terrence", "Erica", "Laura", "Steve", "Larry"};
private String middleInitial = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
private String[] lastNames = {"Gates", "Darrow", "Donnelly", "Jobs", "Buffett", "Ellison", "Obama"};

private String[] streets = {"4th Street", "Wall Street", "Fifth Avenue", "Mt. Lee Drive", "Jeopardy Lane",
"Infinite Loop Drive", "Farnam Street", "Isabella Ave", "S. Greenwood Ave"};

private String[] cities = {"Chicago", "New York", "Hollywood", "Aurora", "Omaha", "Atherton"};
private String[] states = {"IL", "NY", "CA", "NE"};

private Random generator = new Random();

public CustomerService() {
curIndex = 0;
customers = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
customers.add(buildCustomer());
}
}

private Customer buildCustomer() {
Customer customer = new Customer();
customer.setId((long) generator.nextInt(Integer.MAX_VALUE));
customer.setFirstName(firstNames[generator.nextInt(firstNames.length - 1)]);
customer.setMiddleInitial(String.valueOf(middleInitial.charAt(generator.nextInt(middleInitial.length() - 1))));
customer.setLastName(lastNames[generator.nextInt(lastNames.length - 1)]);
customer.setAddress(generator.nextInt(9999) + " " + streets[generator.nextInt(streets.length - 1)]);
customer.setCity(cities[generator.nextInt(cities.length - 1)]);
customer.setState(states[generator.nextInt(states.length - 1)]);
customer.setZipCode(String.valueOf(generator.nextInt(99999)));
return customer;
}

public Customer getCustomer() {
Customer cust = null;
if (curIndex < customers.size()) {
cust = customers.get(curIndex);
curIndex++;
}
return cust;
}
}

Customer.java

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
public class Customer {
private Long id;
private String city;
private String state;
private String zipCode;
private String address;
private String lastName;
private String firstName;
private String middleInitial;

@Override
public String toString() {
return "Customer{" +
"id=" + id + ", firstName='" + firstName + '\'' + ", middleInitial='" + middleInitial + '\'' +
", lastName='" + lastName + '\'' + ", city='" + city + '\'' +
", state='" + state + '\'' + ", zipCode='" + zipCode + '\'' + '}';
}
}

ExistingServiceApplication.java

@EnableBatchProcessing
@SpringBootApplication
public class ExistingServiceApplication {

@Autowired
private JobBuilderFactory jobBuilderFactory;

@Autowired
private StepBuilderFactory stepBuilderFactory;

@Bean
public ItemReaderAdapter<Customer> customerItemReader(CustomerService customerService) {
ItemReaderAdapter<Customer> adapter = new ItemReaderAdapter<>();
adapter.setTargetObject(customerService);
adapter.setTargetMethod("getCustomer");
return adapter;

}

@Bean
public ItemWriter<Customer> itemWriter() {
return (items) -> items.parallelStream().forEach(out::println);
}

@Bean
public Step copyFileStep() {
return this.stepBuilderFactory.get("copyFileStep")
.<Customer, Customer>chunk(10)
.reader(this.customerItemReader(null))
.writer(this.itemWriter())
.build();
}


@Bean
public Job job() {
return this.jobBuilderFactory.get("job")
.start(this.copyFileStep())
.build();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(ExistingServiceApplication.class, args);
}
}
