Spring Boot Application failed to start because of missing bean

Question

How I "solved" it: The initial problem was that I forgot to change the package name in the main class that launches the application:

@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = {"com.sda.VictorLiviu.ecommerce.jparepository"})

After that I just instanced itemMapper as a normal class in ItemService like this:

ItemMapper itemMapper = new ItemMapper();

and than used its toEntity method as:

itemMapper.toEntity();

. . . . . . . . . . . .

My Spring Boot app says it doesn't have a Bean class which it clearly has. I will post the Pom, service and repository. I want to point out that I have exactly the same class and repository for UserService and OrderService and they don't give any error, the only difference is the @Transactional and I removed it and got the same error.Any suggestions are welcomed!

The Error:

Description:

Field repository in com.sda.VictorLiviu.ecommerce.service.ItemService required a bean of type 'com.sda.VictorLiviu.ecommerce.JpaRepository.ItemRepository' that could not be found.

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


Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'com.sda.VictorLiviu.ecommerce.JpaRepository.ItemRepository' in your configuration.

Answer 1

You need to turn on jpa repositories processing.

To do this, annotate your application with @EnableJpaRepositories
