I am running some test jobs using JUnit.
However, no matter if I take HSQL (standalone, file, memory) or MySQL, I just don't get any records into the table batch_job_execution - although I am using exactly the same application context along with its properties.

Do you have an idea of what could go wrong here? Are Properties implicitely overwritten?

Best regards
Georg
