Issue
I am trying to deploy a Spring-Boot application with Service accessing a JpaRepository which is connecting to PostgreSQL DB at runtime using JPA and Hibernate, refering to connection properties in src/main/resources/application.properties
When I am deploying the built .WAR on Tomcat, the Application is failing to start with the error as given in below Error Log.
Can somebody please help out what is the meaning of this error?
Note I have noted the trouble points in MyServiceImpl and MyRequestBody classes but I am not getting the exact reason for the error, as I am new to Spring framework.
The definitions of the relevant classes in my Spring Boot Starter project are as follows:
Spring Boot Application
@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(<root package name under which all subpackages containing relevant classes >)
public class MySpringBootApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
My Spring-Boot RestController class (autowiring the MyService class instance )
@RestController
public class MyController {
@Autowired
MyService myService;
My Service interface (I have not provided any @Service annotation)
public interface MyService {
//all service method definitions
}
Spring ServiceImpl class with the autowiring repository instance to operate on PostgreSQL DB
@Service("myService")
public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService {
@Autowired
private MyRepository myRepository; <-- **ERROR -- Bean not found**
//other default services e.g. find, add, delete, update, etc.
}
My Repository class
@Repository
public interface MyRepository extends JpaRepository<MyRequestBody, Long> {
@Query("select h from MyRequestBody h where h.column1 = ?1")
List<MyRequestBody> findByColumn1(String col1);
}
My Entity class
@Entity
@Table(name = "myTable", schema = "my_db")
public class MyRequestBody { <-- **ERROR -- Not a managed class type**
@Id
@Column(name = "id")
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE)
private Long id;
@Column(name = "column1")
private String column1;
//getter and setter AND toString methods

Solution
Spring is not aware of your entity. You need to denote MySpringBootApplication class with @EntityScan("your.entities.package")
