Spring Batch Admin (2.0.0.M1): error creating bean batchMBeanExporter

Question

I am trying to run spring batch admin from spring boot application.

I am using this excellent example from Michael (@mminella). This application works fine.

However, I need similar application using maven; I went ahead and created one with same files, jobs, configs and dependencies. But I ended up in following exception.

Only difference I see is the version of spring-batch-core. With maven it's version is 3.0.6 while with gradle (Michael's application) has 3.0.4.

Not sure what's going on when I use maven; really appreciate your help. Please let me know if any additional details required.

Looking forward for your inputs.

Thank you,

Spring Boot config

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {HypermediaAutoConfiguration.class, MultipartAutoConfiguration.class})
@EnableBatchAdmin
public class DemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }
}

Finally, I was able to run the spring batch with spring batch admin; though with this project. Still not able to use @ EnableBatchAdmin with maven build. Many thanks to mminella and @vesperaba. Thank You. — Jigar Thakkar

In order to avoid, JobController null pointer exception, put below

server.servletPath=/*

Best regards, Jigar.
