Spring Batch Admin inside Spring Boot - spring

Question

I am trying to integrate spring batch admin into an existing spring boot application. (includes spring batch and swagger)
The application is Java configured.
I have one
#Configuration
#EnableBatchProcessing
public class BatchConfig {
public final JobBuilderFactory jobBuilderFactory;
public final StepBuilderFactory stepBuilderFactory;
public final VehicleSalesObjectRepository vehicleSalesObjectRepository;
private JobRepository jobRepository;
#Value("${storage.importFile}")
private Resource importFile;
#Autowired
public BatchConfig(JobBuilderFactory jobBuilderFactory, StepBuilderFactory stepBuilderFactory,
VehicleSalesObjectRepository vehicleSalesObjectRepository, JobRepository jobRepository) {
this.jobBuilderFactory = jobBuilderFactory;
this.stepBuilderFactory = stepBuilderFactory;
this.vehicleSalesObjectRepository = vehicleSalesObjectRepository;
this.jobRepository = jobRepository;
}
....
that configures my job.
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableSwagger2
#ImportResource({ "classpath:/org/springframework/batch/admin/web/resources/servlet-config.xml",
"classpath:/org/springframework/batch/admin/web/resources/webapp-config.xml" })
public class MyApplication {
public static void main(final String[] args) {....}
When starting the server I always get the following exception.
org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'batchConfig' defined in file [BatchConfig.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jobBuilders' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/batch/core/configuration/annotation/SimpleBatchConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.batch.core.configuration.annotation.JobBuilderFactory]: Factory method 'jobBuilders' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.ClassCastException: org.springframework.batch.core.repository.support.JobRepositoryFactoryBean$$EnhancerBySpringCGLIB$$ba801bb9 cannot be cast to org.springframework.batch.core.repository.JobRepository

Any hints?
What is the preferred way to integrate Spring Batch Admin into an existing Spring Boot Application?
When running my spring boot application and the codecentric batch admin as separate applications everything works fine. But I want it integrated. ;)
Thanks for you help!

Answer 1

Two things that I can see,
Spring Batch Admin already defines JobRepository in execution-context.xml so I think , you should try #Autowired for that bean in your application usage.
Secondly, you should remove #EnableBatchProcessing from your configuration class and put #EnableBatchAdmin on your main class - MyApplication
Refer this question of mine too in case you see any of those errors.
