Dear Tom,
Great to see this book it really helped me at times.
I am novice to spring. Currently working on Spring Batch. It is working great with flat file systems. But I have a requirement to schedule the task to process excel reports [which is from another system] and upload it to Oracle DB. I tried googling but nothing helped me out. I have faced many issues while reading excel documents and also while configuring Oracle DB. Kindly help me. Please provide me with detailed information.
Thanks,
