I'm still a newbie to the springs batch framework, but I had set it up and ran it once. I tried running it again and it ask for a job instance id, so I set up an incrementer for the job.

I tried running it again then it was complaining about the DATE_VAL not being correct, so I changed it from a timestamp to datetime(in mysql). That issue went away, but now I'm getting a "SEVERE: Job Terminated in error: null". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
