Spring batch trying to create persistant Batch Job Respository again

This seems to be a stupid issue. I am trying to configure an Oracle10g database for Spring Batch Job Repository (Spring Batch 2.1.7), I was able to have the tables created using the script available at org/springframework/batch/core/schema-oracle10g.sql in core. I also set the property batch.data.source.init to false. On a clean database my batch program runs fine, successfully creating all the Batch tables/Sequences and populating them with the details of the batch results. However, when I run it again Spring Batch tries to create these tables again and throws "ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object" exception. What am I doing wrong? ``` # For Oracle batch.jdbc.driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver batch.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl batch.jdbc.user=**** batch.jdbc.password=**** batch.schema=**** batch.schema.script=classpath:/org/springframework/batch/core/schema-oracle10g.sql batch.drop.script=classpath:/org/springframework/batch/core/schema-drop-oracle10g.sql batch.jdbc.testWhileIdle=true batch.data.source.init=false ``` Following is my context file: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:batch="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:jdbc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch/spring-batch-2.1.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc/spring-jdbc-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd"> <context:property-placeholder location="classpath:batch.properties" /> <context:component-scan base-package="com.myco.mypack" /> <jdbc:initialize-database data-source="dataSource"> <jdbc:script location="${batch.schema.script}" /> </jdbc:initialize-database> <import resource="classpath:/META-INF/spring/module-context.xml" /> <bean id="jobLauncher" class="org.springframework.batch.core.launch.support.SimpleJobLauncher"> <property name="jobRepository" ref="jobRepository"/> </bean> <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager" lazy-init="true"> <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" /> </bean> <bean id="jobRepository" class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.support.JobRepositoryFactoryBean"> <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" /> <property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager"/> <property name="databaseType" value="oracle" /> <property name="tablePrefix" value="BATCH_"/> <property name="isolationLevelForCreate" value="ISOLATION_DEFAULT"/> </bean> <bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close"> <property name="driverClassName" value="${batch.jdbc.driver}" /> <property name="url" value="${batch.jdbc.url}" /> <property name="username" value="${batch.jdbc.user}" /> <property name="password" value="${batch.jdbc.password}" /> </bean> </beans> ```
