Calling Spring Batch jobs from a servlet

[Jehan99]

Hi,

I used STS (SpringSource Tool Suite) to create a web project based on Spring Batch Admin, and then I added a servlet to that project because I want to call jobs from that servlet. However when I try to invoke jobs from the servlet, the jobs are not being located in the application context...

ServletContext servletContext =this.getServletContext();

WebApplicationContext applicationContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.
                getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servletContext);

JobLauncher launcher = (JobLauncher) applicationContext
                                .getBean("jobLauncher");

Job job = (Job) applicationContext.getBean("simpleJob");

The above code results in the below error...

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'simpleJob' is defined
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.getBeanDefinition(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:505)
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getMergedLocalBeanDefinition(AbstractBeanFactory.java:1040)
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.doGetBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:272)
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:188)
        at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.getBean(AbstractApplicationContext.java:1004)
       at com.wu.interstream.advising.servlets.AdviseAgents.doGet(AdviseAgents.java:75)

I have attached the web.xml and servlet code to this email.

SimpleJob is a standard job that comes as part of the Spring Batch Admin template. It is defined in the module-context.xml which is loaded when the Batch Servlet (also an Admin standard) is loaded.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Jehan
