Spring data mongodb:Error creating bean

Question

My first time to use Spring-MVC and Mongodb . When I deploy the webapp and start server (Tomcat 8) I'am getting the following error :

[ERROR] [localhost-startStop-1 06:26:09] (ContextLoader.java:initWebApplicationContext:307) Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.zhwei.Service.UserService com.zhwei.controller.UserController.userservice; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userService': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.zhwei.Repository.UserRepository com.zhwei.Service.UserService.userrepository; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userRepository': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No property user found for type class com.zhwei.domain.User

I don't understand why 'No property user found for type class com.zhwei.domain.User'. Any idea?How dose this error occur?

This is the User class:

package com.zhwei.domain;
import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.DBRef;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document;
@Document
public class User {

@Id
private String id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String username;
private String password;
@DBRef
private Role role;



public String getId() {
    return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
    this.id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
    return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getUsername() {
    return username;
}
public void setUsername(String userName) {
    this.username = userName;
}
public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
}
public Role getRole() {
    return role;
}
public void setRole(Role role) {
    this.role = role;
}



}

This is the repository :

package com.zhwei.Repository;

import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;


import com.zhwei.domain.User;

public interface UserRepository extends MongoRepository<User,String> {
    User findByUserName(String username);

}

Here is the UserService :

package com.zhwei.Service;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.UUID;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import com.zhwei.Repository.RoleRepository;
import com.zhwei.Repository.UserRepository;
import com.zhwei.domain.User;

@Service
public class UserService {
@Autowired
private UserRepository userrepository;
@Autowired
private RoleRepository roleRepository;

// we must save,update or delete both separately since there is no cascading
// feature
// in Spring Data MongoDB
public User create(User user) {
    user.setId(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
    user.getRole().setId(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
    roleRepository.save(user.getRole());
    return userrepository.save(user);
}

public User read(User user) {
    return user;
}

public List<User> readAll() {
    return userrepository.findAll();
}

public User update(User user) {
    User existingUser = userrepository.findByUserName(user.getUsername());
    if (existingUser == null) {
        return null;
    }
    existingUser.setFirstName(user.getFirstName());
    existingUser.setLastName(user.getLastName());
    existingUser.setRole(user.getRole());
    roleRepository.save(existingUser.getRole());
    return userrepository.save(existingUser);
}

public boolean delete(User user) {
    User existingUser = userrepository.findByUserName(user.getUsername());
    if (existingUser == null) {
        return false;
    }
    roleRepository.delete(existingUser.getRole());
    userrepository.delete(existingUser);
    return true;
}

}

Answer 1

This error is caused by the findByUserName method on the UserRepository class. If what you want is the username property of the User object, the N letter should be lowercase.

findByUserName ---> user.getUser().getName();  <--- No property user found for type class com.zhwei.domain.User
findByUsername ---> user.getUsername();

Read this doc if you want more information on the method parser.
