Could not create query metamodel on simple JPA repository

Question

I defined the following repository

public interface CityVerboseRepository extends JpaRepository<CityVerbose, Integer>{
    List<CityVerbose> findByStreetStartingWith(String street);      
}

corresponding to the entity

@Entity
public class CityVerbose {
    @Id
    public Integer id;

    public String street;
}

but all I am getting is

could not create query metamodel for method public abstract java.util.List

once I am trying to autowire that repository. All my other repositories work just fine...

Answer 1

The startingWith syntax is not available in 1.0.3.RELEASE of spring data. Updated to 1.2.0.RELEASE and everything worked fine
