Can the Spring Framework be used for batch applications?

My company is switching to Spring for our Java framework, and from what I understand it will work well for that, but we also have many Java batch applications*. Does Spring have adequate support for running batch applications? What features of spring will be useful in this environment, and won't work at all?

* Java command line programs that run backend processes.

+1  A: 

Absolutely yes. Spring can run in any environment.

Strictly speaking, this only applies to parts of Spring; e.g. the IoC framework. Much of Spring only makes sense in a web container.

I don't think that's a fair characterization. Spring has lots of components in it, and yes of course the web and servlet components only make sense in a web container; but you can use the core or JDBC or test components anywhere.

There's a Spring project for that.

Excellent. This was exactly the sort of thing I was looking for!
