Spring Batch Admin - Not possible to change the datasource to Derby

[Virgil]

Hi,

I am trying to change the data-source of Spring Batch Admin to a Derby repository. The jobs will get executed from external and I only want the Admin GUI to present what is in the batch table repositories.

Without success I am trying to change the default HSQLDB data-source to point to Derby.

Obviously I am missing something. This is what I did:

1. I generated the sample batch admin using Eclipse STS from the template.

2. I removed the batch and servlet folders from the src/main/resources/META-INF. My jobs will be externally executed by another spring batch instance.

3. I removed batch-hsqldb.properties file from META-INF.

4. I placed the new data-source-context.xml with the correct derby configurations inside src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/bach/override

Doing the previous steps the application is still connecting to HSQLDB.
Is there anything I did wrong?

Thanks,
Doru

Hi,

I think 3. is the wrong step. In documentation http://static.springsource.org/sprin...nment_Settings they write you should not remove the file but just replace with the one of your DB type. Don't forget to set batch.data.source.init=false to make sure you db is not cleaned at startup.

Other ideas. At step 4: check the spelling of the directory (maybe a typo in the forum post?); check that it is in the WAR deployed on your server; check that the DataSource bean has the same id as the one you are trying to override ("dataSource").
