No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.support.JpaEntityInformation

Question

I'm trying to extend the **SimpleJpaRepository ** by BaseRepository interface and the BaseRepositoryImpl.
Tha BaseRepositoryImpl extends **SimpleJpaRepository ** and implements BaseRepository.

In addition, I have some other Repositories such as CandidateRepository and EmployeeRepository that extends the BaseRepository.

Below you can see the code following the error:

To see the project structure click here

    @NoRepositoryBean  
    public interface BaseRepository<T, ID extends Serializable> extends JpaRepository<T, ID>{
//..
}


@Repository
public abstract class BaseRepositoryImpl<T, ID extends Serializable> extends 
                                                    SimpleJpaRepository<T, ID> implements BaseRepository<T, ID>{

    private final EntityManager em;

    public BaseRepositoryImpl(JpaEntityInformation<T,ID> entityInformation, 
                                EntityManager entityManager) {

      super(entityInformation, entityManager);
      this.em = entityManager;

  }
  //..
}

The extend Repositories:

@NoRepositoryBean
    public interface CandidateRepository extends BaseRepository<DatCandidate, UUID>{

        //..
    }


@Repository(value="CandidateRepositoryImpl")
public class CandidateRepositoryImpl extends BaseRepositoryImpl<DatCandidate, UUID> implements CandidateRepository{


    public CandidateRepositoryImpl(
            JpaEntityInformation<DatCandidate, UUID> entityInformation,
            EntityManager entityManager) {

        super(entityInformation, entityManager);

    }
}

Service:

public class CandidateServiceImpl extends BaseServiceImpl<CandidateForCreationDto, CandidateDto,DatCandidate, UUID> 
                                implements CandidateService{

            ) {
        this.candidateRepository = (CandidateRepositoryImpl)candidateRepository;
    }
}

The Error:

Dependency annotations: {}

I followed the Spring JPA documentation, but can't understand the error

Answer 1

Being pragmatic, you're trying to extend SimpleJpaRepository<T, ID>, but once you disabling it Spring does not load any implementation of JpaEntityInformation and thus the exception.

Also, as @jens-schauder said, your mixing concepts.

Try to follow this very well explained tutorial to see if it helps.

Answer 2

You are doing a somewhat weird combination of things here.

On the one hand, you effectively disable all the Spring Data stuff by using @NoRepositoryBean on CandidateRepository and providing your own implementation. But then your implementation is based extends SimpleJpaRepository<T, ID> which is a core component of Spring Data but it doesn't get configured properly since you basically disabled it.

I guess it's time to make up your mind:

1. Do you want to change the behavior that is provided by SimpleJpaRepository<T, ID>? Possibly adding methods to your base implementation.

   If so extend it, leaving constructors as they are and use it as your repositoryBaseClass. Here is a tutorial how to do that.

2. Just provide custom implementation for one (or some) repositories. Then use custom implementations.
