Spring Batch Admin set up NoSuchMethodError ehcache/Cache.putIfAbsent

[Jehan99]

Hi all,

Here is my latest stumbling block in trying to get the Spring Batch Admin app to run as a web application.

When it tries to intialize the batch servlet which I defined in web.xml as...

<servlet>
		<servlet-name>Batch Servlet</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
		<init-param>
			<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
			<param-value>classpath*:/org/springframework/batch/admin/web/resources/servlet-config.xml</param-value>
		</init-param>
		<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>

It gives the following exception...

[9/26/11 12:29:12:484 EDT] 0000000f webapp        I com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp log SRVE0292I: Servlet Message - [SpringClient#SpringBatchWeb.war]:.Initializing Spring FrameworkServlet 'Batch Servlet'

So I am thinking I do not have the right version of the ecache jar in my WEB-INF/lib, but the latest version from the Spring web site seems to be 1.6.2. But when I look inside that jar at the Cache class I am not seeing this method "putIfAbsent" that the Spring Batch Admin code is looking for.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

in spring batch admin parent pom.xml version 2.3.0 is used

			<dependency>
				<groupId>net.sf.ehcache</groupId>
				<artifactId>ehcache-core</artifactId>
				<version>2.3.0</version>
			</dependency>

Thanks Micheal. I got the latest ecache and now the error is gone.

Thanks again.
