[FIXED] org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'demoRestController'

Issue

I am new to Spring and I am try to make a application for learning but I am getting problem in Autowiring,I am adding my code. I am working on spring boot.

Spring Boot Code

public class DemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }
}

LoginBean.java

@Service
@Component
public class LoginBean {
    private String userId;
    private String pwd;

    public String getUserId() {
        return userId;
    }

    public void setUserId(String userId) {
        this.userId = userId;
    }

    public String getPwd() {
        return pwd;
    }

    public void setPwd(String pwd) {
        this.pwd = pwd;
    }

DemoRestController.java

@RestController
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@RequestMapping("/demo")
@Component
public class DemoRestController {


    private final LoginBean loginBean;

    @Autowired
    public DemoRestController(LoginBean loginBean) {
        this.loginBean=loginBean;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/login/{id},{pwd}", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/json")
    public @ResponseBody LoginBean loginService(@PathVariable String id, @PathVariable String pwd) {
        //LoginBean loginBean = new LoginBean();

        loginBean.setUserId(id);
        loginBean.setPwd(pwd);
        return loginBean;
    }

I tried following scenarios to make my @Autowired work:

1. @Autowired to LoginBean loginBean;
2. Created getter setter of LoginBean in Controller class and autowired setters;
3. Created constructor of Controller and autowired, as given in above code;

Below is the error which I am getting

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'demoRestController': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type [com.ag.digital.demo.bean.LoginBean]: No qualifying bean of type [com.ag.digital.demo.bean.LoginBean] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

Solution

Your DemoApplication class is in the com.ag.digital.demo.boot package and your LoginBean class is in the com.ag.digital.demo.bean package. By default components (classes annotated with @Component) are found if they are in the same package or a sub-package of your main application class DemoApplication. This means that LoginBean isn't being found so dependency injection fails.

There are a couple of ways to solve your problem:

1. Move LoginBean into com.ag.digital.demo.boot or a sub-package.
2. Configure the packages that are scanned for components using the scanBasePackages attribute of @SpringBootApplication that should be on DemoApplication.

A few of other things that aren't causing a problem, but are not quite right with the code you've posted:

• @Service is a specialisation of @Component so you don't need both on LoginBean
• Similarly, @RestController is a specialisation of @Component so you don't need both on DemoRestController
• DemoRestController is an unusual place for @EnableAutoConfiguration. That annotation is typically found on your main application class (DemoApplication) either directly or via @SpringBootApplication which is a combination of @ComponentScan, @Configuration, and @EnableAutoConfiguration.
