UnsatisfiedDependencyException：创建名称为“requestMappingHandlerAdapter”的 bean 时出错

Question

I am trying to implement a server using spring boot and jpa.

I wanted to add a method to update values in the database (MySQL) and therefore, I added the method by referring this answer. Since then the program does not work and throws this exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'requestMappingHandlerAdapter' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'requestMappingHandlerAdapter' parameter 2; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mvcValidator' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.validation.Validator]: Factory method 'mvcValidator' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/validation/ParameterNameProvider

Even though I removed the update method, it continues throwing this exception. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

It seems that validation-api is not in your dpendencies. Add this to your maven dependency:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.validation/validation-api -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
    <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

If you are using gradle add this one:

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.validation/validation-api
compile group: 'javax.validation', name: 'validation-api', version: '2.0.0.Final'

Answer 2

If you are using SpringBoot 2.3 or later you need to specify a new Validation Starter in your POM.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
</dependency>

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.3-Release-Notes#validation-starter-no-longer-included-in-web-starters

Answer 3

I faced this issue recently on updating to SpringBoot 2.7.4. For me it was resolved on adding the latest springdoc-openapi-ui dependency.

<dependency>
     <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
     <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-ui</artifactId>
     <version>1.6.3</version>
</dependency>
