How to implement batch operations with MyBatis/Spring?

Question

I am wondering how to implement batch operations with my insert statements using MyBatis 3 & Spring 3?

For example, here is what is currently being done:

spring.xml:

<bean id="jndiTemplateDatasource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate">
    <property name="environment">
      <props>
        <prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">${context.factory}</prop>
      </props>
    </property>
</bean>
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
  <property name="jndiTemplate" ref="jndiTemplateDatasource"/>
  <property name="jndiName" value="${connectionpool.jndi}"/>
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager">
  <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</bean>

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"/>

<bean id="sqlSessionFactory" class="org.mybatis.spring.SqlSessionFactoryBean">
  <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
  <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:mybatis-config.xml"/>
</bean>
<bean class="org.mybatis.spring.mapper.MapperScannerConfigurer">
  <property name="basePackage" value="com.test" />
</bean>

MyService.xml:

<insert id="insertMyRecord" parameterType="com.test.MyRecord"  >
   insert into ... // code removed
</insert> 

MyService.java:

public interface MyService {

  public void insertMyRecord (MyRecord);
}

MyController.java:

@Controller
public class MyController {

  @Autowired
  private MyService myService;

  @Transactional
  @RequestMapping( .... )
  public void bulkUpload (@RequestBody List<MyRecord> myRecords) {
    for (MyRecord record : myRecords) {
      myService.insertMyRecord(record);
    }
  }
}

Disclaimer: That is just pseudo code for demonstration purposes

So what can I do to turn that into a batch process?

Ideally I want to be able to do it with least "intrusion" into code, i.e. use annotations more preferred, but if not possible what is the next best thing?

Also, this needs to be configured just for this one service, not for everything in the project.

Answer 1

The accepted answer above doesn't actually get you batch mode for MyBatis. You need to choose the proper Executor via ExecutorType.BATCH. That is either passed as a parameter to SqlSession.openSession in standard MyBatis API or, if using MyBatis-Spring, as an option to the SqlSessionTemplate. That is done via:

<bean id="sqlSession" class="org.mybatis.spring.SqlSessionTemplate">
    <constructor-arg index="0" ref="sqlSessionFactory" />
    <constructor-arg index="1" value="BATCH" />
</bean>

There is nothing else that needs to be done.
