How to implement Spring JMS Window processing?

Question

I need to read messages from the JMS queue by batches (I have max number of records and time window parameters, whichever comes first).

Then I need to process the messages and do bulk updates & inserts into the DB.

How to implement this using Spring?

I was thinking about combining Spring Batch and JMS, but I am not sure if Spring Batch can work without stopping, I need to listen the queue indefinitely. I have the impression that Spring Batch is not for this streaming use case.

I know that in Kafka there is ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory where you can set batch processing to true, but unfortunately we don't use Kafka for now.

See https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/docs/4.1.x/api/org/springframework/batch/container/jms/BatchMessageListenerContainer.html

There's not much documentation aside from the JavaDocs but there is a test case here https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/blob/5dc17b190e95c87463f96bc27d8d5292c46006ff/spring-batch-infrastructure/src/test/java/org/springframework/batch/container/jms/BatchMessageListenerContainerTests.java
