If I hard code these properties for testing, my jhipster application starts but I get :

Request URL:http://localhost:8080/ Request Method:GET Status Code:403 Forbidden

What do I need to doexactly to integrate spring batch admin in my Jhipster app?

Do I need to add the following dependency to my pom?

     <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-batch</artifactId>
    </dependency>

Spring boot version : 1.4.1.RELEASE Jhipster version : 3.8.0

Thanks

You don't have to add spring-boot. JHipster is a spring-boot app. As for spring-batch-admin for what I see in the documentation is a web UI using Spring MVC which actualy is also a part of the JHipster stack, but JHipster is using as a client a single page app with AngularJS wich is consuming REST services, i.e. you can have some issue when integrating your batch-admin app.

Your

Request URL:http://localhost:8080/ Request Method:GET Status Code:403 Forbidden it indicates that there are some changing at your authorization since http://localhost:8080/ is the normal entry point in a JHipster app.

As a solution I will recommend to use the micro service approach. The documentation of spring-batch-admin indicates that there is RESTful (JSON) API. This will perfectly fits into micro services app.
