Exclude JPA Spring boot - org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa' causes error in CRUDRepository when starting

Question

My plan is having 1 code 2 different app. Only 1 app will connect to database and hava a transaction. I am having an error when starting my webapp in the application where it doesnt have any database , the only way is to exclude JPA dependencies. When starting the application , it throws an error

Parameter 2 of constructor in chat.ChatService required a bean of type 'chat.ChatLogRepository' that could not be found.

This is my spring boot application

@AllArgsConstructor
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class, HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class})
public class ApplicationDmz implements WebMvcConfigurer {

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

    @Bean
    RestOperations restOperationsDmz() {
        return new RestTemplate();
    }

}

This is my service calling the CRUDRepository

@AllArgsConstructor
@Component
public class ChatService {

  @Getter
  private SimpMessageSendingOperations template;

  SimpUserRegistry userRegistry;
  private ChatLogRepository chatLogRepository;

And this is my CRUDRepository

import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;

public interface ChatLogRepository extends CrudRepository<ChatLog, Long> {

}

I just want to fix the issue when starting my app with exclude JPA

Answer 1

Your test bet is to import your repository bean manually:

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import;

@Import(ChatLogRepository.class)

This should go within a @Configuration class or your @SpringBootApplication class.
