Spring Boot batch plus scheduler

Question

I am new to spring batch so trying to schedule a batch works as a job every 5 seconds using spring boot batch and scheduler but somewhere I am missing something so getting below error.Please help me to solve this error.

Error:-

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class);
    }
}

BatchConfig:-

@Configuration

public class BatchConfig {

    private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory
            .getLogger(BatchConfig.class);
    private static final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(

    @Autowired
    public StepBuilderFactory stepBuilderFactory;

    @Bean
    public Job job() {

}

BatchScheduler:-

@Configuration
@EnableScheduling
public class BatchScheduler {

    @Bean
    public ResourcelessTransactionManager transactionManager() {
        return new ResourcelessTransactionManager();
    }

    @Bean

            ResourcelessTransactionManager txManager) throws Exception {

        MapJobRepositoryFactoryBean factory = new 
                MapJobRepositoryFactoryBean(txManager);

        factory.afterPropertiesSet();

        return factory;
    }

    @Bean
    public JobRepository jobRepository(
            MapJobRepositoryFactoryBean factory) throws Exception {
        return factory.getObject();
    }

    @Bean
    public SimpleJobLauncher jobLauncher(JobRepository jobRepository) {
        SimpleJobLauncher launcher = new SimpleJobLauncher();
        launcher.setJobRepository(jobRepository);
        return launcher;
    }

}

It is hard to figure out what is actually wrong with your code but it looks like some of your beans do not have no-args constructor.

Configuring batch with scheduler is relatively simple. I've just downloaded the code from official batch guide and extended it with small amount of my own code.

You can try the same:

1) Add spring.batch.job.enabled=false to application.properties file (just like you already have in your project)

2) Add @EnableScheduling to a Application class (just like you have in your code)

3) Create a Component class for scheduling with the next code:

import org.springframework.batch.core.*;
import org.springframework.batch.core.launch.JobLauncher;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.Scheduled;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component
public class Scheduler {
    @Autowired
    private JobLauncher jobLauncher;
    @Autowired
    private Job job;

    @Scheduled(fixedRate = 5000)
    public void reportCurrentTime() throws Exception{
        JobParameters param = new JobParametersBuilder().addString("JobID",
                String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis())).toJobParameters();
        JobExecution execution =  jobLauncher.run(job, param);
        System.out.println("Job Execution Status: " + execution.getStatus());
    }
}

That works well. Hope that having this example you'll figure out what is wrong with your own code.
