<!-- * To work with Spring Batch We need a job repository, this job repository
is used to store the spring batch job meta meta data information such as
who is launched the job with which parameters job got launched etc etc following
Configuration explains the job repository configuration -->
<!-- ************************************************************************************************************** -->

<batch:job id="simpleJob" incrementer="jobIncrementor"
