Failed to create artifact with ref name jdbcItemReader

[richardmoore]

I am using the ref jdbcItemReader without any issues, but when a teammate copies my source and classpath they are getting the JBERET000600: Failed to create artifact with ref name jdbcItemReader. Is there a batch.xml that defines this ref to class? If so, where is it located? What are we missing?

First check for META-INF/beans.xml in the classpath, for CDI SE to discover jdbcItemReader.

jdbcItemReader has class-level @Named annotation so should be automatically discovered already by CDI SE if the above beans.xml is present.

META-INF/batch.xml can bind a ref name to its class name, if the above still does not solve the problem, though I think it should:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<batch-artifacts xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee">
  <ref id="csvItemReader" class="org.jberet.support.io.CsvItemReader" />
  <ref id="jsonItemWriter" class="org.jberet.support.io.JsonItemWriter" />

  <ref id="whateverRefName" class="org.jberet.support.io.JdbcItemReader" />
</batch-artifacts>
