I am working on a application to upgrade it to JAVA 8.
It is using spring integration, spring batch and spring batch admin.
For spring integration and spring batch to work on java 8, we have to upgrade it to latest spring integration which is 4.3.5 (this is what I'm trying to use) and spring batch to 3.0.7.
Problem I am facing is while upgrading SPRING BATCH ADMIN, which was last released in jan 2015 and internally it uses old spring integration version.
Wanted to ask- what are my options as application is very much depending on spring batch admin?
Is there any alternative for spring batch admin which can be used with spring integration 4.3.5 and spring batch 3.0.7.
Need advice and help regarding the same.
Note: I have read somewhere that I can use spring boot admin.
Please let me know if need more clarification on above question.
.
Spring Batch Admin project is deprecated. There won't be 2.0.0 release.
Spring Cloud Data Flow isn't direct alternative to Spring Batch Admin. It is about orchestration of processes in cloud environment while Spring Batch Admin is a dashboard for BATCH_ tables, though this functionality is present in Data Flow in its own way ))

We have started new project on spring stack and using latest versions. But we have workflow requirement and I used activiti in past. But as I see there is no spring boot 2 support for activiti and camunda. Can anybody suggest which BPM is best that can be integrated with spring boot 2.
You will find a bunch of Spring Boot 2 starters in the Flowable github repo.
The documentation explains step-by-step how to create a BPM enabled Spring Boot application. There is also the blog post The road to Spring Boot 2.0 that the improved support for Flowable within Spring Boot as part of the Flowable 6.3.0 release.
You ask for suggestions on which BPM is best. Well, I cannot be objective since I am part of the Flowable Team, but I can say that our Spring Boot implementation is pretty neat:
All engines are supported (BPMN, CMMN, DMN), both embedded and exposing their respective REST APIs.
There is an automatic configuration of Spring Security to use the Flowable IDM engine (in case no other custom security is configured).
There is no "EE" version of the starter. Flowable provides Spring Boot 2 support 100% Open Source.
The Spring Actuator integration is quite powerful.
Did I mention Open Source? ;-)
In order to get the all engines you would need to use the flowable-spring-boot-starter(-rest) dependency. The (-rest) needs to be used if you want the Flowable REST APIs to be automatically configured.
There is also the option to run the BPMN, CMMN or DMN engines in standalone mode. For that you would need one of the following dependencies:
flowable-spring-boot-starter-process(-rest)
flowable-spring-boot-starter-cmmn(-rest)
flowable-spring-boot-starter-dmn(-rest)
So, compare for yourself, but for me, it's pretty clear and of course I am open to discussion.
The Activiti is working on Activiti Cloud fully based on Spring Boot 2 and Spring Cloud Finchley (targeting kubernetes deployments, but it can be used outside kubernetes if that is not your thing) if you are looking for a BPMN runtime for Cloud Native applications. We are working hard on releasing the first Beta1 release at the moment, and we will very welcome feedback about it. Hope this helps.
If you use the camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter you can write self contained services running camunda process engine with spring boot 2.
I have setup a batch job with Spring Boot 1.5.8 and relevant Spring Batch and Integration starters. I want to kick off the job using incoming file using file poller.
I have used Spring Integration in old days to trigger batch job with file poller. Is this still stands same ? Does Spring Batch itself has this very basic functionality or do I have to have Spring Integration involved as well ?
Even if Spring Integration is needed, can anybody point to Annotation based sample application doing the same ?
Good questions. Let's answer each of them:
Is this still stands same ? Yes
Does Spring Batch itself has this very basic functionality or do I have to have Spring Integration involved as well ? No, you have to use Spring Integration
Even if Spring Integration is needed, can anybody point to Annotation based sample application doing the same ?
We are in the midst of updating all the Batch docs to include annotation as well as XML based configurations. Here is a doc that is in PR but will be merged in the next release that has the examples you are looking for:

I am searching for some good example of Spring Boot Batch where Oracle DB is used as Job Repository with Java Config.I have been able to run the batch with embedded DB.But while trying to use the Spring Batch Admin, am facing problems.
Thanks in Advance.
This is a good example of Spring Boot with Spring Batch Admin.

All you need to do is replace batch-hsql.properties with batch-oracle.properties and add
-Denvironment=oracle property to your server.
Is it possible to integrate activiti explorer maven plugin with activiti Spring boot app?, so that we can make use of activit-explorer to view deployed process in activit-spring boot engine.
I know we can use rest-api over spring boot to query process engine, but I want to know if it is possible to run the explorer over spring boot by adding it as a maven plugin during deployment?Or can we tweak the activit-explorer.war somehow to point to spring-boot activiti engine?
activiti-explorer.war is standalone webapp by itself. I've write some guideline on how to manually to embed activiti-explorer to you own app. http://blog.canang.com.my/2016/05/12/embedding-activiti-explorer-to-your-application/
Most probably step 5 in my blog is your solution.
btw, there's reason why the name is 'default'. I can't recall it atm
I thought of answering my own question so that it will be useful for other developers with similar requirement. If you want to make an eco-system where activiti-rest, explorer and your custom end points co-exist, please refer this thread from activit forum. I have tried this and is working fine. link to thread
I would like to give my observation here. In order to avoid getting into pulling source and trying to build myself, I achieved partial success, by installing the activit-explorer as part of the usual standalone installation.Started the standalone activiti-explorer using Apache-Tomcat but I configured the database for Activiti as same as (MYSQL in my case) I used in my spring-boot application to hit the common ground.
But apparently the activiti version in my spring boot app was 5.19.0.0 and that for activiti-explorer was 5.22.0.0, which created some misalignment for spring boot application startup to fail. I am hopeful that with matching versions it might succeed. When I get some more time on me I will try and update. Since then may be someone can use this route.
Im trying to just use the basic endpoints that comes with spring actuate and want to deploy in the external tomcat server without using spring boot. How to achieve this, could anyone help me please. Is there any configuration changes that I need to do. This website gives an idea but it uses older version of spring-boot-actuate. Also EndpointHandlerMapping and EndpointHandlerAdapter doesnt come with newer version of spring boot actuate.
Anyways I get 404 resource not found when deploying to the server.
Check out this question to see if it helps you. The Actuator component is a Spring Boot feature but you can use individual components within an existing application with the right build and configuration setups.
