Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:exec (default-cli) on project SpringData

Question

I was doing a spring data project jpa in maven and the following error has arisen and I have no idea why it is. This is my POM.xml

Is a project with Spring Data Jpa.

I have no idea what the failure can be

Answer 1

Try organizing your files using the Maven Standard Directory Layout:

src/
  main/
    java/
      (put your .java files here)
    resources/
      applicationContext.xml

Have a look at the compiled sources (target folder or the .jar file - notice you can open the latter with a ZIP compatible archiver like 7-ZIP) and verify that your applicationContext.xml is indeed missing before changing the folder structure and is present after applying it and compiling the project.

Update for readers of this answer: the author has changed the question multiple times. Each time a completely new error was reported after fixing the previous one. This answer was one step in that journey, it allowed the system to actually find the applicationContext.xml at runtime.

Answer 2

Your application context is missing the JPA schema reference.

This line is giving you the location of the problem:

Line 14 in XML document from class path resource [applicationContext.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 14; columnNumber: 43; El prefijo "jpa" para el elemento "jpa:repositories" no está enlazado.

And the solution is to properly reference the jpa schema:

<beans
    xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    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-3.1.xsd
            http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa-1.8.xsd
            ...
            >

Note how your context.xml is missing the xmlns:jpa part.
