Spring unable to resolve bean

Question

Spring 4 and Tomcat.

Im trying to migrate a very simple spring-bootstrap project to a traditional spring webApp without spring boot. The problem is i cant get dependency injection work because aparently im not telling spring where/how to look up for beans.

You can find my source code at:

https://github.com/aleponchu/SpringTomcatJsp

When i deploy the project in tomcat i get this stack trace :

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [monkey.woodstock.repositories.ProductRepository] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {}

    at org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor$AutowiredMethodElement.inject(AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.java:553)

And here is the complete stack trace :

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Answer 1

1. Remove @Repository Annotation on ParteRepository and ProductRepository.

2. Add <jpa:repositories base-package="monkey.woodstock.repositories" /> in your mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml so that the ParteRepository and ProductRepository will be registered as a JpaRepository beans.

3. You need configure the EntityManagerFactoryBean, TransationManager, JPA properties and also the JPAVendor(ex- Hibernate). See this tutorial on how to configure them using Java configuration and XML configuration.

See this standalone example.

Read this Spring Data JPA Documentation

Answer 2

You should configure Spring JPA. A sample JPA configuration with Hibernate and in-memory H2 database look like this:

persistence.xml

<?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:jpa="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa.xsd">

    <jpa:repositories base-package="monkey.woodstock.repositories" />

    <bean id="dataSource"
        class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName" value="org.h2.Driver" />
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:h2:mem:testdb" />
        <property name="username" value="sa" />
        <property name="password" value="" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="jpaVendorAdapter"
        class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
        <property name="showSql" value="true" />
        <property name="generateDdl" value="true" />
        <property name="database" value="H2" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="entityManagerFactory"
        class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
        <property name="jpaVendorAdapter" ref="jpaVendorAdapter" />
        <!-- spring based scanning for entity classes -->
        <property name="packagesToScan" value="monkey.woodstock.domain" />
        <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="DefaultPersistenceUnit" />
    </bean>  
</beans>

Add h2 db dependency in pom.xml file, and also import this xml confiuration in mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml (<import resource="persistence.xml" /> )
