Spring @Autowired can not wire Jpa repository

Question

I clearly missing something here. I'm making a simple spring boot app with spring data jpa inluded and face follwing error:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [locassa.domain.repository.PersonRepository] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}

My code:

Application:

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"app.controller", "app.domain"})
public class Application {

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

}

Controller:

@RestController
public class TestController {

    @Autowired
    PersonService personService;

    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String index() {
        return "Test spring boot";
    }

    @RequestMapping("/person/{id}")
    public Person personById(@PathVariable Long id) {
        return personService.findPerson(id);
    }
}

PersonService:

public interface PersonService {

    Person findPerson(Long id);
}

PersonServiceImpl:

@Service
public class PersonServiceImpl implements PersonService {

    @Autowired
    PersonRepository personRepository;

    public Person findPerson(Long id) {
       return personRepository.findOne(id);
    }
}

PersonRepository (this one cannot be autowired):

public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {
}

Searched on the web already. I didnt found a thing. Any ideas?

Solution

I also had the same problem.I solved it with following solution. If your Entity classes and Repositories in a different package you need to use following annotations.

@SpringBootApplication
@EntityScan(basePackages = {"EntityPackage"} )
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = {"RepositoryPackage"})
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);

    }
}

Both of them are under app.domain. Entities are under app.domain.model and repositories under app.domain.repository

[krzakov]

I tried @EnableJpaRepositories but without combinationwith @EntityScan. Both of those annotations solve the isssue.

[Dan W]

Thank you so much.

[Jorge Machado]

So you don't need the autowire?

[Kanagavelu Sugumar]

I am not using spring boot, so @EntityScan is not located? is it boot is mandatory to use this ?

[JustTry]

org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.domain.EntityScan and org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.config.EnableJpaRepo‌​sitories class solved my problem, I need to use both of them

[Shalika]

This fix the issue.I add @ComponentScan(basePackages = {"basepackage"}) too.Thank you very much.
