how to run spring batch admin in Websphere ND 8.5 - spring

Question

Has someone really managed to run Spring Batch Admin in Websphere 8.5 ND? I have spent like 50 hours to run the most simple Spring Batch Admin in Websphere ND 8.5 and I can find anything else to try in order to fix
"Error creating bean with name 'mbeanExporter'... Unable to register MBean [org.springframework.integration.monitor.IntegrationMBeanExporter#65e7255d] with key 'integrationMBeanExporter'"
Kindly, see all I have done after read everything I could find in foruns about it:
1) Spring Batch on Clustered environment - Websphere
It says that SpringBatch does not support any means of clustered executions. Well I am not relying in clustered executions nor in any schedulle. I am just trying to start the Spring Batch Admin console and then geting such integrationMBeanExporter error. In other words, I didn't see started the Spring Batch Admin so I didn't trigger yet any job.
2)https://jira.spring.io/browse/BATCHADM-169
It says two interesting statements but none of them change the error at all
(2.1) - use classloading order to PARENT_LAST. I did it for both Server and Application. No changes in error.
(2.2) - use the exact jar versions found here http://docs.spring.io/spring-batch-admin/spring-batch-admin-sample/dependencies.html. I am using it. IN fact, I am trying to use the example provided inside of Spring Batch Admin (spring-batch-admin-sample) and it contains exactly such jar versions. IN my local Websphere Liberty Profile such sample, spring-batch-admin-sample, runs perfectly but when deployed to Websphere ND it gave same integrationMBeanExporter error
3 - https://www.intertech.com/Blog/spring-batch-admin-tutorial/
I followed such step-by-step tutorial and I can run in my local Websphere Liberty Profile but same integrationMBeanExporter error when running in Websphere ND.
4 - I could reproduce same integrationMBeanExporter error in my local Websphere Liberty Profile when I deployed two Spring Batch Admin to it. Well, just to make sure it wasn't the problem, I deleted all others application from Websphere ND Server and left just a single Spring Batch Admin. Same integrationMBeanExporter raises.
5 - In my local Websphere Liberty I fixed the integrationMBeanExporter issue caused by having two Spring Batch Admin when I followed the suggestion found in Deploying two Spring batch applications in same cluster in a single Weblogic Domain?. I mean, I created
<int-jmx:mbean-export id="integrationMBeanExporter" default-domain="SpringBatchAdmin" server="mbeanServer" />
<context:mbean-export default-domain="SpringBatchAdmin" server="mbeanServer" />
in one of the two applications in my local WAS Liberty and then it fix the issue and allowed me to open two Spring Batch Admin in the same server. Well, again, in Websphere ND I have deleted all application other then my Spring Batch Admin so it doesn't make much sense to me by the way I tried and it didn't change the error at all.
It seems I can have SPring Batch Admin very easy up and running in any Web Container different of Websphere ND 8.5.5. I guess, but I am not sure that there might exist some way to fix such error by a simple configuration but I can imagine what else to try.

Answer 1

I had similar issue in my project, it took almost a week to identify the cause, the root cause in my case was just because of a dependency added.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.websphere.appserver.runtime</groupId>
<artifactId>com.ibm.ws.admin.client</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0</version>
</dependency>
The above dependency was working fine in tomcat but the same not in WAS Liberty server.
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<artifactId>com.ibm.ws.webservices.thinclient_7.0.0</artifactId>
<groupId>serverwas85</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
Hope this will resolve your issue.(Since this exclusion is specific to my application added as reference if someone face similar issue. If you don't have any such relative dependency ignore it)
