Spring Batch Job throws NoSuchMethodError: BinaryExceptionClassifier.classify(Throwable) : Boolean

Question

I am using Springframwork 4.0.6 with Spring-Batch 3.0.1 and got a weird NoSuchMethodError when executing the job from within Spring-Batch-Admin (version 1.3.0). I think it might be a versioning problem:

2014-09-04 15:57:03.664 ERROR 7780 --- [rTaskExecutor-3] o.s.batch.core.step.AbstractStep         : Encountered an error executing step step1 in job i18n.region.names

Here is my job definition. Just in case.

                </batch:chunk>
            </batch:tasklet>

    </batch:job>

    <bean id="transactionManager"

Did anyone face a similar problem?

What version of Spring Retry is on your class path? – Michael Minella Sep 04 '14 at 15:02 — Michael Minella, Sep 04 '14 at 15:02

My expectation is that you're probably using an out dated version of Spring Retry (the library that contains that class). Using the current version of Spring Retry should fix the issue.

Hi. I'm facing the same problem when using Spring Batch 3.0.5.RELEASE. Spring Retry 1.0.2 RELEASE is bundle with that version of Spring Batch. Should changing the Spring Retry version work? – Esca Tran Oct 13 '16 at 09:59
