  • 0

I am trying to run the example Spring batch project using the simple spring batch project template in STS (SpringSource Tool Suite).

To do this I ran the following steps in Eclipse:

Right click -> New -> Other
Selected SpringSource Tool Suite -> Spring Template Project -> Simple Spring Batch
Entered a relevant Project name and Package name

I then try to run the project using

mvn exec:java

I get the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'exampleConfiguration': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.springframework.batch.core.repository.JobRepository com.spring.hello.ExampleConfiguration.jobRepository; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jobRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.jdbc.support.MetaDataAccessException: Could not get Connection for extracting meta data; nested exception is org.springframework.jdbc.CannotGetJdbcConnectionException: Could not get JDBC Connection; nested exception is org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver'

It looks like the HSQLDB driver is not being found and/or loaded correctly.

I have checked the Maven dependencies and the hsqldb is definitely in there and being pulled in to Eclipse on the classpath.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>hsqldb</groupId>
        <artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId>
        <version>1.8.0.7</version>
    </dependency>

Any ideas why I would see this?

EDIT: Added ApplicationContext xml

    sometimes,Eclipse behaves strange. i guess eclipse is not able to update the project build path with your newly added dependencies(HSQLDB driver) . I advice you to use maven integration plugin for eclipse http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/ which will make your life easy.you can download it from eclipse(juno) marketplace.
