No implementation type is registered for return type org.springframework.data.domain.Page<DTO>

Question

im developing a spring boot application in java, and when i was trying to implement pagination on my application, i had to add a Page converter to my custom mapper, but got this error:

(java: No implementation type is registered for return type org.springframework.data.domain.Page<com.celulaweb.crud.service.dto.CidadeDTO>.)

I was wondering why am i getting the error, since the List converter works just fine.

CustomMapper.java

package com.celulaweb.crud.service.mappers;

import com.celulaweb.crud.domain.Cidade;
import com.celulaweb.crud.service.dto.CidadeDTO;
import org.mapstruct.Mapper;
import org.mapstruct.Mapping;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import java.util.List;

@Component
@Mapper(componentModel = "spring")
public interface CidadeMapper {

    @Mapping(source = "id", target = "id")
    @Mapping(source = "nome", target = "nome")
    @Mapping(source = "qtdHabitantes", target = "qtdHabitantes")
    @Mapping(source = "estado", target = "estado")
    CidadeDTO cidadeParaDTO(Cidade cidade);
    List<CidadeDTO> cidadeParaDTO(List<Cidade> cidade);
    Page<CidadeDTO> cidadeParaDTO(Page<Cidade> cidade);
    Cidade cidadeDTOParaCidade(CidadeDTO cidadeDTO);

}

Answer 1

I resolved the error by getting the Page<CidadeDTO> cidadeParaDTO(Page<Cidade> cidade);out of my custom mapper and adding the snippet below to my entity service

public Page<CidadeDTO> listarCidades(Pageable pageable){
    Page<Cidade> cidadePage = cidadeRepository.findAll(pageable);
    List<CidadeDTO> cidadeDTOPage = cidadeMapper.cidadeParaDTO(cidadePage.getContent());
    return new PageImpl<>(cidadeDTOPage, pageable, cidadePage.getTotalElements());
}

that worked for me
