[FIXED] Spring JPA Data scanning for repository does not work

Issue

It seems like i have disable jpa repositories. Have this error:

SEVERE: StandardWrapper.Throwable org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'userController' defined in file [C:\Users\jasiu\workspace2.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\BuyMyTime\WEB-INF\classes\web\UserController.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 0: No qualifying bean of type [data.UserRepository] found for dependency [data.UserRepository]: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {}; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [data.UserRepository] found for dependency [data.UserRepository]: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {} at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.ConstructorResolver.createArgumentArray(ConstructorResolver.java:749)

Config:

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages={"data"})
@ComponentScan(basePackages={"data"},
excludeFilters={
    @Filter(type=FilterType.ANNOTATION, value = EnableWebMvc.class)
})
public class RootConfig {

@Bean
public JpaTransactionManager transactionManager(EntityManagerFactory emf, DataSource dataSource){
    JpaTransactionManager transactionManager = new JpaTransactionManager();
    transactionManager.setEntityManagerFactory(emf);
    transactionManager.setDataSource(dataSource);
    return transactionManager;
}

@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
    DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
    dataSource.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/HelloWorld");
    dataSource.setUsername("login");
    dataSource.setPassword("haslo");
    return dataSource;
}

@Bean
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory(DataSource dataSource, JpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter) {
    LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
    em.setDataSource(dataSource);
    em.setPackagesToScan("data");
    em.setJpaVendorAdapter(jpaVendorAdapter);
    em.setJpaProperties(additionalProperties());
    return em;
}

Properties additionalProperties() {
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    //properties.setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create-drop");
    properties.setProperty("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect");
    return properties;
}

@Bean
public JpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter(){
    HibernateJpaVendorAdapter adapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
    //adapter.setDatabase();
    adapter.setShowSql(true);
    adapter.setGenerateDdl(false);
    adapter.setDatabasePlatform("org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect");
    return adapter;
}

}

Repo is in package "data":

@Repository
@Transactional
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long>{
    User findByNick(String nick);
}

Controller:

@Controller
public class UserController {

@Autowired
protected UserRepository userRepository;
...
}

Please for any help.

Solution

What is your project structure? I copied your code on a project with UserRepository in basepackage.data and the repository was discovered.

I think it is because you have config and data children under default package. I got it to work by moving your data, web and config packages under a common package.

Here are my configuration annotations

package basepackage.config;

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages={"basepackage.data"})
@EntityScan(basePackageClasses=User.class)
@ComponentScan(basePackages={"basepackage"})
public class MyConfig {

@Autowired
private UserRepository repo;

@PostConstruct
public void init(){
    for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
        repo.save(new User("u-"+i));
    }

}

}

You can also define your scanning by using basePackageClasses.

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackageClasses={UserRepository.class})
@EntityScan(basePackageClasses=User.class)
@ComponentScan(basePackages={"basepackage"})

Hope that helps.
