## Class RepositoryItemWriter<T>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.batch.item.data.RepositoryItemWriter<T>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ItemWriter<T>, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

      public class RepositoryItemWriter<T>
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements ItemWriter<T>, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

  A `ItemReader` wrapper for a `CrudRepository` from Spring Data.

  It depends on `CrudRepository.save(Iterable)` method to store the items for the chunk. Performance will be determined by that implementation more than this writer.

  As long as the repository provided is thread-safe, this writer is also thread-safe once properties are set (normal singleton behavior), so it can be used in multiple concurrent transactions.
