spring batch admin showing jobs as not launchable

Question

I have a spring mvc webapp with spring batch built into it. I am having some issues getting my spring batch jobs to be launchable in the spring batch admin console. This is what I see when I go to the jobs page...

All of my jobs are coming up as launchable=false. I was wondering how I can fix this. I read some documentation about why this would be so and it said that I need to use a AutomaticJobRegistrar.

I tried this but it didn't change anything. I've put my spring batch job configuration below. Would appreciate it someone could tell me what is missing.

thanks

Answer 1

There are a few things this could be:

1. Where is the XML file you reference above located? It needs to be the META-INF/spring/batch/jobs directory in your WAR file (that's where Spring Batch Admin will look).
2. Don't configure common components in your XML file. That includes the jobLauncher, jobRepository, jobExplorer, jobLoader, or jobRegistry. That being said, I don't see an actual job defined in your XML file. The XML file needs one of those ;)

You can read more about adding your own job definitions to Spring Batch Admin: http://docs.spring.io/spring-batch-admin/reference/jobs.html#Add_your_Own_Jobs_For_Launching_in_the_UI
