NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type JpaVendorAdapter found for dependency

Question

I'm trying to setup Java-based hibernate in memory database and start using it from a test, but when Hibernate beans are loaded Application context fail with. The point if this exercise is to setup simple service with CRUD operations using CrudRepository for a few classes and WRITE

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaVendorAdapter] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

        sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan(new String[] { "net.agilob.press.entity" });
        sessionFactory.setHibernateProperties(hibernateProperties());
        return sessionFactory;
    }

        HibernateTransactionManager txManager = new HibernateTransactionManager();
        txManager.setSessionFactory(s);
        return txManager;
    }

AppConfig.java - file loaded as configuration for test

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "net.agilob.press.entity")
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "net.agilob.press.entity.repository")
@Import(HibernateConfig.class)
public class AppConfig {

    @Bean
    public PostService getPostService() {
        return new PostService();
    }
}

PostServiceTest.java - this one should create instance(s) of Post, save it in memory database and extract later (just to see it works):

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = AppConfig.class, loader = AnnotationConfigContextLoader.class)
@Transactional
public class PostDAOTest {

    @Autowired
    private PostService postService;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        Post post = new Post();
        post.setContent("body");
        post.setDescription("description");
        post.setIntroduction("introduction");
        post.setTitle("title");
        post.setTitleBrowser("title browser");
        postRepository.save(post);
    }

    @Test
    public void testList() {
        // checks if spring wiring was correct
        assertNotNull("Problem with spring beans", postRepository);
        assertFalse(postRepository.findTop10ByTitleOrderByIdAsc().isEmpty());
    }
}

PostService:

@Service("postService")
@Transactional
public class PostService {

    @Autowired
    private PostRepository postRepository;

...
}

PostRepository:

public interface PostRepository extends BaseRepository<Post, Long> {
}

I tried to create one more @Beans annotated method in HibernateConfig that was bulding JpaVendorAdapter instance but when I run the test it was failing with:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [javax.persistence.EntityManager]: Factory method 'createSharedEntityManager' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.SimpleInstantiationStrategy.instantiate(SimpleInstantiationStrategy.java:189) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.ConstructorResolver.instantiateUsingFactoryMethod(ConstructorResolver.java:588) ... 59 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.springframework.orm.jpa.SharedEntityManagerCreator$SharedEntityManagerInvocationHandler.initProxyClassLoader(SharedEntityManagerCreator.java:199) at org.springframework.orm.jpa.SharedEntityManagerCreator$SharedEntityManagerInvocationHandler.<init>(SharedEntityManagerCreator.java:191) at org.springframework.orm.jpa.SharedEntityManagerCreator.createSharedEntityManager(SharedEntityManagerCreator.java:163) at org.springframework.orm.jpa.SharedEntityManagerCreator.createSharedEntityManager(SharedEntityManagerCreator.java:120) at org.springframework.orm.jpa.SharedEntityManagerCreator.createSharedEntityManager(SharedEntityManagerCreator.java:92) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.SimpleInstantiationStrategy.instantiate(SimpleInstantiationStrategy.java:162) ... 60 more

my pom.xml

so I think something else is wrong in the setup.

Any help how to design and setup it in a better way very appreciated.

Answer 1

In order for your entityManagerFactory to know the provider class as well as jpa dialect, you need to set jpaVendorAdaptor on your entityManagerFactory bean. This can be done as

@Bean
public JpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter() {
    HibernateJpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
    jpaVendorAdapter.setShowSql(true);
    jpaVendorAdapter.setDatabase(Database.HSQL);
    jpaVendorAdapter.setDatabasePlatform(MySQL5Dialect.class.getName());
    jpaVendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(false);
    return jpaVendorAdapter;
}

and calling this method inside your entityManagerFactory as follows :

lef.setJpaVendorAdapter(jpaVendorAdapter());

Answer 2

Are you sure that you have all required dependencies?

Is HibernateJpaVendorAdapter available on your classpath?

Try to add dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
