How To Propagate Context Information Throw Spring Batch Introduction to a framework that performs the propagation of Spring Security, Sleuth, MDC, and Locale (Internationalization) contexts inside Spring Batch items. by Introduction While developing applications using Spring batch, we sometimes face one or most of the following cases: The necessity of getting the security context to call methods or perform processing that requires security authorization.
