spring batch

[vibeeshan kambli]

Hi,
I have a requirment where I need to monitor few log files. here is the requirment

Create a batch program that
1. Read system.out.logs of websphere server and pull some critical infrastructure specific error information for every fifteen minutes ( which is not logged in application logs)
2. write that information in a seperate file. current day file will be error1 , yesterday's will be error2 like that.
3. keep all the generated files for 2 weeks , if more than 2 weeks old files delete them

I am planning to write Java program using Spring Batch , is this good or do you guys think any aleternative scripting/tool will fit this requirement.
appreciate your help.

is Spring batch for jdbc batch, you batch should be a shell-like standalone program.
ok I might be wrong, you can use Spring3.0 task-name space and Task annotation to instruct you business method to run everything certain periods.

you are right , i am not doing any jdbc stuff here. Scheduler part is i am not worried.
As you said I look into Spring 3.0 but I would appreciate if somebody tells me is there any other direction for this requirement.
