Issue
I am trying to implement a server using spring boot and jpa.
I wanted to add a method to update values in the database (MySQL) and therefore, I added the method by referring this answer. Since then the program does not work and throws this exception:
org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'requestMappingHandlerAdapter' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'requestMappingHandlerAdapter' parameter 2; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mvcValidator' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.validation.Validator]: Factory method 'mvcValidator' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/validation/ParameterNameProvider

}
Even though I removed the update method, it continues throwing this exception. How can I fix this?
Solution
It seems that validation-api is not in your dpendencies. Add this to your maven dependency:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.validation/validation-api -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
<artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
If you are using gradle add this one:
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.validation/validation-api
compile group: 'javax.validation', name: 'validation-api', version: '2.0.0.Final'
