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

Question

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.

Answer 1

The error is caused because the META-INF/spring.handlers file in spring-batch-core-2.1.7.RELEASE.jar isn't being seen. This file contains

http\://www.springframework.org/schema/batch=org.springframework.batch.core.configuration.xml.CoreNamespaceHandler

It looks like either a classpath problem or like the spring.handlers file in the other JARs (spring-context, e.g.) is somehow taking precedence.
