[FIXED] Spring data repository works without annotations

Issue

I'm using Spring Data JPA repositories (like MyRepo extends JpaRepository) and it works without @Repository and without @EnableJpaRepositories annotations. Could someone explain why?

Solution

Probably you are using Spring Boot.

Spring Data repositories usually extend from the Repository or CrudRepository interfaces. If you use auto-configuration, repositories are searched from the package containing your main configuration class (the one annotated with @EnableAutoConfiguration or @SpringBootApplication) down.

Please check the Spring Boot Reference Documentation (v2.7.2) for more details.
