Unable to start a spring boot web application with spring batch admin

Question

I am trying to run a web application with embedded tomcat including a number of spring batch jobs and the spring batch admin. However when I try to run the generated fat jar I get the following error, can anybody from spring batch or boot team help:

Error registering Tomcat:j2eeType=WebModule,name=//localhost/*,J2EEApplication=none,J2EEServer=none

Adding more information: Version of spring boot: 1.1.9.RELEASE from spring.io parent pom version 1.0.3.RELEASE I tried running it from STS as well as using mvn spring-boot:run with the same effect. The batch jobs read from a file and write to hornetq.

The complete stack trace is as follows:

Answer 1

I assume the name is not a valid object name: //localhost/*

Could you try with a different name, or either escape or quote the name. This should fix the problem.
