hi,I am getting error Error : no matching editors or conversion strategy found while executing multilinejob from spring batch sample code in my application environment.

not getting any solution. please help.

Before digging much deeper, have you thought about upgrading? 1.0.0 is a very very old version of the framework. The latest in 1.x is 1.1.3, and 2.0 M4 should be out shortly.

[satsranchuser]

Did you get this resolved. I just came across this error in my codebase to make some changes. If you have not resolved this; jobOperator was missing in your config file.

[jerry_popperq]

I had the similar problem today and got it resolved by ensuring that the bean depending on this reference (the problem bean) points to its interface and not implementation class

[cse_gokul]

I also got the same error. When I tried tp point it to interface class, it says cannot instantiate the bean cos it is interface.
Please advice. Thanks.

[jerry_popperq]

Can you post your snippet and context file along with the exception message?

My application has only EJB project and no Web tier. am NOT using EJBs (Session beans) for Transaction Management. I want to use Spring POJO Declarative Transaction Management using AOP. Only entry point to the application is MDB.
Since there is not web project, I am not sure how to load the application context xml where the transaction attributes are defined and let the container be aware of it.

<bean id="sampleManager" class="test.SampleManager">
<property name="dataAccessor" ref ="dataAccessor"/>
<property name="dataSource">
<ref local="dataSource"/>
</property>
</bean>

<tx:advice id="txAdvice" transaction-manager="txManager">
<tx:attributes>
<tx:method name="get*" read-only="true"/>
<tx:method name="*" propagation = "REQUIRED"/>
</tx:attributes>
</tx:advice>

<aop:config>
<aopointcut id="testOp" expression="execution(* test.SampleInterface.*(..))"/>
<aop:advisor advice-ref="txAdvice" pointcut-ref="testOp"/>
</aop:config>

<bean id="txManager" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSou rceTransactionManager">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</bean>
</beans>

SampleManager implements SampleInterface.

For testing, i tried to load the xml using standalone java class main method
applicationContext = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");

I got the below exception

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'sampleDelegate' defined in file [D:\Spring\DTM\DTM\beans.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateExcep tion; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are:

Could you please advice? Thanks

[csergiu77]

Same problem here ....
No solutions to this ?

[Dave Syer]

If SampleManager has an interface it will work out of the box. Otherwise you need to enable proxy-target-class in your tx config. please cross post in the Spring Framework Forum for more help (it's nothing to do with Batch).
