Spring Batch ScriptItemProcessor
Question:
I want to use a web scraping python script in my batch program but I cannot find any examples in the web for this. Hence, it’s possible to use python scripts with the ScriptItemProcessor?
Here’s my simple code to test this:
@Bean
public ScriptItemProcessor<Company,Company> scriptItemProcessor() {
return new ScriptItemProcessorBuilder<Company,Company>().language("python").scriptSource("print('hello')").build();
}
UPDATE 1
After adding the required jar the exception changed, so now is recognizing it but the new stack trace is not very descriptive at all.

Final Update
I made it work by adding this dependency in the pom.xml…
<dependency>
<groupId>org.python</groupId>
<artifactId>jython-slim</artifactId>
<version>2.7.2</version>
</dependency>
… and added what’s inside the requiresUnpack tag:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes>

PD: remember the item processor needs to be configured in the StepBuilder.
Answers:
The ScriptItemProcessor delegates item processing to a org.springframework.scripting.ScriptEvaluator. As of v5.3, Spring Framework provides three implementations of the ScriptEvaluator interface: BshScriptEvaluator, GroovyScriptEvaluator and StandardScriptEvaluator.
By default, if you don’t specify which ScriptEvaluator to use, the ScriptItemProcessor will use a StandardScriptEvaluator, see Javadoc of setScriptEvaluator. Now this StandardScriptEvaluator is based on JSR-223 javax.script, so you need to make sure the language you want to use is supported by the default ScriptEngine. In your case, python is not a supported language by default, and hence the error.
If you want to use python through JSR-223, you can use Jython (adding the jar of Jython to the classpath should be enough, see Calling Python from Java through scripting engine (jython)?)
I want to use a web scraping python script in my batch program but I cannot find any examples in the web for this. Hence, it’s possible to use python scripts with the ScriptItemProcessor?
