Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch]

spring spring-batch

Situation

I am using Spring Batch to build an Accumulative Snapshot for our Data Warehouse and I am having a configuration roadblock that I cannot figure out.

I have created a Simple Spring Batch Project with STS (SpringSource Tool Suite 2.8.1) using the Spring Template Project. These were my two xml configuration files created:

launch-context.xml

Problem

I run the following command to compile and package the project: mvn clean compile install

then I do as follows:

  1. cd to target folder

  2. Run the job through CommandLineJobRunner: java -jar batchprimer-1.0.jar META-INF/spring/module-context.xml job1

and I get the following error:

Additional Stuff

In the target folder that got populated with the mvn install command I have as follows:

  1. A classes folder
  2. a lib folder with all my maven dependencies
  3. a maven-archiver folder
  4. a test-classes folder
  5. a batchprimer-1.0.jar

Inside the jar, in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. I have as follows:

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver

Created-By: Apache Maven

Built-By: dpardo

Build-Jdk: 1.6.0_20

Main-Class: org.springframework.batch.core.launch.support.CommandLineJ
 obRunner

Class-Path: lib/spring-jdbc-3.0.6.RELEASE.jar lib/spring-beans-3.0.6.R

 ar lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.5.8.jar lib/slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar lib/mysql-conn
 ector-java-5.1.3.jar

So I do not think that it is a classpath issue because in the console it seems like it's finding the jars.

What I have tried

Based on the error, I pasted the following URL

http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch/

and the address of the namespaces for Spring Batch seems to be correct. I have not found anything useful neither out there. I read somewhere that "something" could be overriding the namespaces of the files but did not really understand why, what, and/or how to solve it.

This is just out the box and already not working without having done any modifications, add-ons or anything. Any ideas?

Thanks

SOLUTION

In addition to the marked as correct solution below. I also had to change the launch-context.xml from component scanning to regular spring wiring like this below:

<!-- Commented this 
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:batch.properties" />  


<jdbc:initialize-database data-source="dataSource">
    <jdbc:script location="${batch.schema.script}" />
</jdbc:initialize-database>
-->
<!-- Replace it with this below -->
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="${batch.jdbc.driver}" />
    <property name="url" value="${batch.jdbc.url}" />
    <property name="username" value="${batch.jdbc.user}" />
    <property name="password" value="${batch.jdbc.password}" />
</bean>

<bean id="transactionManager"
    class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager"
    lazy-init="true">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
</bean>

<bean id="placeholderProperties"
    class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="location" value="classpath:batch.properties" />
    <property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE" />
    <property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders" value="true" />
    <property name="order" value="1" />
</bean>

Run the job through CommandLineJobRunner: java -jar batchprimer-1.0.jar META-INF/spring/module-context.xml job1

even with a complete target folder you have to provide the classpath information for the java command, to ease the configuration you can try it with an all-in-one executable jar e.g. with maven-shade-plugin or an executable shell script (.bat/.sh) with all needed libraries, e.g. with appassembler-maven-plugin

maven-shade-plugin example configuration (creates additional jar):

<plugin>
    <!-- create an all-in-one executable jar with maven-shade-plugin
         bound to phase:package 
         special handling for spring.handlers/spring.schemas files
         to prevent overwriting (maven-shade-plugin joins them to
         one file) 

         usage:
         cd to <project>/target
         java -jar hello-world-java-1.0-SNAPSHOT-executable.jar spring/batch/job/hello-world-job.xml helloWorldJob
         -->

I was using spring batch version 3.X.X and other spring dependencies versions 4.X.X , and received the above error. After some trial and error I found that maintaining all the spring versions similar fixed my issue. Hence suggest you to either use spring batch version 3.X.X or make you spring dependecy version for spring-jdbc and spring-tx to 2.X.X
