how to autowire @NoRepositoryBean BaseRepository in BaseServiceImpl

Question

BaseRepository

@NoRepositoryBean
public interface BaseRepository<T extends BaseEntity, ID extends Serializable>
        extends JpaRepository<T, ID>, JpaSpecificationExecutor<T> {

    T findByIdAndDeleteStatusFalse(ID id);
}

BaseServiceImpl

@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public abstract class BaseServiceImpl<T extends BaseEntity, ID extends Serializable> implements BaseService<T, ID> {

    @Autowired
    protected BaseRepository<T, ID> baseRepository;
}

jpa configuration in applicationContext.xml

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
    <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
    <property name="jpaDialect">
        <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaDialect" />
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">

            <prop key="hibernate.format_sql">false</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
</bean>

<!-- annotation transaction -->
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" proxy-target-class="true" />

<!-- scan repository package -->
<jpa:repositories base-package="com.coderbike.dao.jpa, com.coderbike.core.repository"

when starting tomcat, error occurr

I am searching for a long time on net. but the most popular scenario is that create a BaseRepositoryImpl and customize BaseRepositoryFactory which extends JpaRepositoryFactory. So Can i use autowired instead of the scenario above.

Answer 1

Concept of @NoRepositoryBean is not to created proxy instance of you the particular repository interface. There is good explanation is here .

This means you are suppose to extend this BaseRepository interface and provide and implementation of your own. once done then declare that bean in your xml.

Answer 2

This means that there's no BaseRepository bean available to fulfill that dependency.

Use annotation @Component or @Repository for BaseRepository and Spring will do work for you.
