I'm developing application using spring data jpa,hibernate,mysql,tomcat7,maven and it's create error.I'm trying to figure it out but i failed.

error are Cannot resolve reference to bean 'entityManagerFactory' while setting constructor argument; No bean named 'entityManagerFactory' is defined; Injection of autowired dependencies failed

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'initDbService': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.wahid.cse.repository.RoleRepository org.wahid.cse.service.InitDbService.roleRepository; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'roleRepository': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)#c08f81' of type [org.springframework.orm.jpa.SharedEntityManagerCreator] while setting bean property 'entityManager'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#c08f81': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'entityManagerFactory' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'entityManagerFactory' is defined

RoleRepository is

import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.wahid.cse.entity.Role;

 public interface RoleRepository extends JpaRepository<Role, Integer>{

 }

Answer 1

In my specific case I seemed to have been missing the dependency

 <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-jdbc -->
 <dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
   <version>5.1.3.RELEASE</version>
 </dependency>

Answer 2

Had this issue when migrated spring boot 1.5.2 to 2.0.4. Instead of creating bean I've used @EnableAutoConfiguration in the main class and it solved my problem.

Answer 3

I had this issue after migrating from spring-boot-starter-data-jpa ver. 1.5.7 to 2.0.2 (from old hibernate to hibernate 5.2). In my @Configuration class I injected entityManagerFactory and transactionManager.

//I've got my data source defined in application.yml config file, 
//so there is no need to configure it from java.
@Autowired
DataSource dataSource;

@Bean
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory() {
    //JpaVendorAdapteradapter can be autowired as well if it's configured in application properties.
    HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
    vendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(false);

    LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean factory = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
    factory.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
    //Add package to scan for entities.
    factory.setPackagesToScan("com.company.domain");
    factory.setDataSource(dataSource);
    return factory;
}

@Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) {
    JpaTransactionManager txManager = new JpaTransactionManager();
    txManager.setEntityManagerFactory(entityManagerFactory);
    return txManager;
}

Also remember to add hibernate-entitymanager dependency to pom.xml otherwise EntityManagerFactory won't be found on classpath:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
        <version>5.0.12.Final</version>
</dependency>

Answer 4

just updated the springboot version to 2.1.3 and it worked of me

Answer 5

In your application context, change the bean with id from emf to entityManagerFactory:

<bean id="emf"
    class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
    <property name="packagesToScan" value="org.wahid.cse.entity" />
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />

    <property name="jpaProperties">
        <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop>
        </props>
    </property>

    <property name="persistenceProvider">
        <bean class="org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider"></bean>
    </property>

</bean>

To

<bean id="entityManagerFactory"
    class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
    <property name="packagesToScan" value="org.wahid.cse.entity" />
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />

    <property name="jpaProperties">
        <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop>
        </props>
    </property>

    <property name="persistenceProvider">
        <bean class="org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider"></bean>
    </property>

</bean>

Answer 6

Spring Data JPA by default looks for an EntityManagerFactory named entityManagerFactory. Check out this part of the Javadoc of EnableJpaRepositories or Table 2.1 of the Spring Data JPA documentation.

That means that you either have to rename your emf bean to entityManagerFactory or change your Spring configuration to:

<jpa:repositories base-package="your.package" entity-manager-factory-ref="emf" /> 

(if you are using XML)

or

@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages="your.package", entityManagerFactoryRef="emf")

(if you are using Java Config)
