Is the Spring Batch Core jar on your classpath? Is there more than one version of it on your classpath?

My project is having these two jars in claspath
1.spring-batch-infrastructure-1.1.4.RELEASE.jar
2.spring-batch-core-1.1.4.RELEASE.jar

The schema only works for 2.0 and above.

Same error with org.springframework.batch.core-2.0.0.RC1.jar

Hi,

I am having the same error and am using "org.springframework.batch.core-2.0.0.RC1.jar".

I am new to spring and spring batch..Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks,

Any chance there is an older Batch Core jar on the classpath as well? How are you launching your job?

dont think so but

I am running them using 'CommandLineJobRunner'. These are examples which I am trying to get up and running.
I dont think I have old version in my classpath but I am not sure about the name of old jar file either...

here is the list of all jar files in classpath:

You posted another thread as well with a different stack trace. You have both problems at the same time?

Thanks for your help

Yes, both were mine issues one after the other..

I have resolved the things and samples are running now..However I am still not sure why things did not work just out of the box as I had to move xml files across different directories..

but it could be just me..guess it will take a while to be fully familiar with things..

thanks again.

spring.handlers and spring.schemas

I use spring batch 2.0.0 and spring 2.5.6 in my project. When I assemble a jar with dependencies using maven, the spring.handlers and spring.schemas get overwritten in the meta-inf causing the "Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler" error.
There seems to be a related thread in the forum:http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?p=261258
