How to fix The injection point has the following annotations: - @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)

Question

I am new to spring boot, i am getting this error since a while, unfortunately can't fix it. I am googling since then but still not find what i did wrong. Find below my code:

Entity

@Entity
@Table(name="compagnie")
public class Compagnie implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name="id_compagnie")
    private int idCompagnie;
    
    @Column(name="nom_compagnie")
    private String nomCompagnie;
    
    @Column(name="nom_court_compagnie")
    private String nomCourtCompagnie;
    
    @Column(name="logo_compagnie")
    private String logoCompagnie;

    public int getIdCompagnie() {
        return idCompagnie;
    }

    public void setIdCompagnie(int idCompagnie) {
        this.idCompagnie = idCompagnie;
    }

    public String getNomCompagnie() {
        return nomCompagnie;
    }

    public void setNomCompagnie(String nomCompagnie) {
        this.nomCompagnie = nomCompagnie;
    }

    public String getNomCourtCompagnie() {
        return nomCourtCompagnie;
    }

    public void setNomCourtCompagnie(String nomCourtCompagnie) {
        this.nomCourtCompagnie = nomCourtCompagnie;
    }

    public String getLogoCompagnie() {
        return logoCompagnie;
    }

    public void setLogoCompagnie(String logoCompagnie) {
        this.logoCompagnie = logoCompagnie;
    }
}

Dao

@Component
public interface CompagnieDao extends JpaRepository<Compagnie, Integer> {
    @Query("select c from Compagnie c where idCompagnie != :idCompagnie")
    List<Compagnie> getAllCompagnieNonAssurAstuce(@Param("idCompagnie") int idCompagnie);
    @Query("select c from Compagnie c where nomCompagnie = :nomCompagnie")
    Compagnie getCompagnieByNom(@Param("nomCompagnie") String nomCompagnie);
}

Main

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application implements CommandLineRunner {
    
    @Autowired
    private CompagnieDao compagnieDao;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("tic toc");
        List<Compagnie> compagnies = compagnieDao.findAll();        
        compagnies.forEach(compagnie -> System.out.println(compagnie.getNomCompagnie()));
    }

}

Thank you for your help

I changed the spring version from 2.4.1 to 2.3.4.RELEASE and now getting this error

Answer 1

I had an issue where I was trying to use the @Service annotation on a Spring interface called UserService, but kept getting an error saying that Spring couldn't find a bean of type UserService. This was because @Service cannot be used on interfaces in Spring.

To fix this, I created a new class called UserServiceImpl that implemented the UserService interface and added the @Service annotation to it.

Here's an example:

@Service
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {

    @Autowired
    private UserRepository userRepository;

    public List<User> getAllUsers() {
        return userRepository.findAll();
    }

    // Other methods for managing user data
}

By moving the @Service annotation to the UserServiceImpl class, I was able to instantiate it as a Spring bean and use it in my application.

Answer 2

Probably the folder structure is not correct. Could you please add this line of code and check if this works for you.

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(value = "com.dao.CompagnieDao")
public class Application implements CommandLineRunner {

Also, I think it would be more correct if you replace the @Component with the @Repository annotation.

@Repository
public interface CompagnieDao extends JpaRepository<Compagnie, Integer> {
