'Field required a bean of type that could not be found.' error spring restful API using mongodb
JavaSpringMongodbRestJava Problem Overview
So I've been learning Spring in the couples of week, been following this tutorial
Building a RESTful Web Service
All was well until I tried to integrate it to mongodb. So I follow this tutorial.
But my practice is partially still using the first one. So my project directory structure is like this.
src/
├── main/
│ └── java/
| ├── model/
| | └── User.java
| ├── rest/
| | ├── Application.java
| | ├── IndexController.java
| | └── UsersController.java
| └── service/
| └── UserService.java
└── resources/
└── application.properties
This is my model/User.java file
package main.java.model;
import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document;
@Document(collection="user")
public class User {
private int age;
private String country;
@Id
private String id;
private String name;
public User() {
super();
}
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
public String getCountry() {
return country;
}
public void setCountry(String country) {
this.country = country;
}
}
This is my rest/UsersController.java file
package main.java.rest;
import java.util.List;
import main.java.service.UserService;
import main.java.model.User;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/users")
public class UsersController {
@Autowired
UserService userService;
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public List<User> getAllUsers() {
return userService.findAll();
}
}
This is my service/UserService.java file
package main.java.service;
import java.util.List;
import main.java.model.User;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;
public interface UserService extends MongoRepository<User, String> {
public List<User> findAll();
}
I could compile them (I'm using gradle for compilation because I'm following the tutorial), but when I run the jar file it was throwing this error.

Not sure what is wrong I start googling around and found that I need to include Beans.xml
file and register the userService in it. I did that but it's not working. I'm really new to this so I really have no clue on what's going on.
Java Solutions
Solution 1 - Java
Solved it. So by default, all packages that falls under @SpringBootApplication
declaration will be scanned.
Assuming my main class ExampleApplication
that has @SpringBootApplication
declaration is declared inside com.example.something
, then all components that falls under com.example.something
is scanned while com.example.applicant
will not be scanned.
So, there are two ways to do it based on this question. Use
@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages={
"com.example.something", "com.example.application"})
That way, the application will scan all the specified components, but I think what if the scale were getting bigger ?
So I use the second approach, by restructuring my packages and it worked ! Now my packages structure became like this.
src/
├── main/
│ └── java/
| ├── com.example/
| | └── Application.java
| ├── com.example.model/
| | └── User.java
| ├── com.example.controller/
| | ├── IndexController.java
| | └── UsersController.java
| └── com.example.service/
| └── UserService.java
└── resources/
└── application.properties
Solution 2 - Java
Add the @Service
in the service/UserService.java.
Solution 3 - Java
I also had the same error:
***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************
Description:
Field repository in com.kalsym.next.gen.campaign.controller.CampaignController required a bean of type 'com.kalsym.next.gen.campaign.data.CustomerRepository' that could not be found.
Action:
Consider defining a bean of type 'com.kalsym.next.gen.campaign.data.CustomerRepository' in your configuration.de here
And my packages were constructed in the same way as mentioned in the accepted answer. I fixed my issue by adding EnableMongoRepositories annotation in the main class like this:
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableMongoRepositories(basePackageClasses = CustomerRepository.class)
public class CampaignAPI {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(CampaignAPI.class, args);
}
}
If you need to add multiple don't forget the curly braces:
@EnableMongoRepositories(basePackageClasses
= {
MSASMSRepository.class, APartyMappingRepository.class
})
Solution 4 - Java
You have to add the @Service
annotation to the implementation of your service.
Solution 5 - Java
I encountered the same issue and all I had to do was to place the Application in a package one level higher than the service, dao and domain packages.
Solution 6 - Java
Spent a lot of time because of the auto-import.
Intellij Idea somewhy imported @Service
from import org.jvnet.hk2.annotations.Service;
instead of import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
!
Solution 7 - Java
This thread is old now but I am posting my answer, which may be useful for others.
I had the same issue. It turned out that there is another class with the same name in other module. I renamed that class and it solved the issue.
Solution 8 - Java
I had the same problem I removed the @Autowired Annotation from the controller. If your repository is a class then the Autowired Annotation is needed to use the repository but when it is an interface you do not need to add the @Autowired Annotation from my experience.
Solution 9 - Java
In order to spring to create bean and inject it class should be marked with @Componet,@service or @Repository any one of it, in your context it should be
package main.java.service;
import java.util.List;
import main.java.model.User;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;
@Repository
public interface UserService extends MongoRepository<User, String> {
public List<User> findAll();
}
Solution 10 - Java
Normally we can solve this problem in two aspects:
- proper annotation should be used for Spring Boot scanning the bean, like
@Component
; - the scanning path will include the classes just as all others mentioned above.
By the way, there is a very good explanation for the difference among @Component, @Repository, @Service, and @Controller.
Solution 11 - Java
Add @Repository in you dao class
example:
@Repository
public class DaoClassName implements IIntefaceDao {
}
Solution 12 - Java
Add the @Component in your controller class. May this work
Solution 13 - Java
Using all @ Annotations fixed my problem. (Yes, I'm new into Spring) If you are using a service class add @Service, and same for @Controller and @Repository.
Then this annotations on the App.java fixed the issue (I'm using JPA + Hibernate)
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = { ErrorMvcAutoConfiguration.class })
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"es.unileon.inso2"})
@EntityScan("es.unileon.inso2.model")
@EnableJpaRepositories("es.unileon.inso2.repository")
Package tree:
src/
├── main/
│ └── java/
| ├── es.unileon.inso2/
| | └── App.java
| ├── es.unileon.inso2.model/
| | └── User.java
| ├── es.unileon.inso2.controller/
| | ├── IndexController.java
| | └── UserController.java
| ├── es.unileon.inso2.service/
| | └── UserService.java
| └── es.unileon.inso2.repository/
| └── UserRepository.java
└── resources/
└── application.properties

For anybody who was brought here by googling the generic bean error message, but who is actually trying to add a feign client to their Spring Boot application via the @FeignClient
annotation on your client interface, none of the above solutions will work for you.
To fix the problem, you need to add the @EnableFeignClients
annotation to your Application class, like so:
@SpringBootApplication
// ... (other pre-existing annotations) ...
@EnableFeignClients // <------- THE IMPORTANT ONE
public class Application {
In this way, the fix is similar to the @EnableMongoRepositories
fix mentioned above. It's a shame that this generic error message requires such a tailored fix for every type of circumstance...
Solution 15 - Java
I have same Issue, fixed by Adding @EnableMongoRepositories("in.topthree.util")
package in.topthree.core;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.config.EnableMongoRepositories;
import in.topthree.util.Student;
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableMongoRepositories("in.topthree.util")
public class Run implements CommandLineRunner {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Run.class, args);
System.out.println("Run");
}
@Autowired
private Process pr;
@Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
pr.saveDB(new Student("Testing", "FB"));
System.exit(0);
}
}
And my Repository is:
package in.topthree.util;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;
public interface StudentMongo extends MongoRepository<Student, Integer> {
public Student findByUrl(String url);
}
Now Its Working
Solution 16 - Java
I had the same issue. My mistake was that I used @Service annotation on the Service Interface. The @Service annotation should be applied to the ServiceImpl class.
Solution 17 - Java
you have to import spring-boot-starter-data-jpa as dependeny if you use spring boot
Solution 18 - Java
My Mapper implementation classes in my target folder had been deleted, so my Mapper interfaces had no implementation classes anymore. Thus I got the same error Field *** required a bean of type ***Mapper that could not be found.
I simply had to regenerate my mappers implementations with maven, and refresh the project...
Solution 19 - Java
I have come to this post looking for help while using Spring Webflux with Mongo Repository.
My error was similar to owner
Field usersRepository in foobar.UsersService required
a bean of type 'foobar.UsersRepository' that could not be found.
As I was working before with Spring MVC I was surprised by this error.
Because finding help was not so obvious I'm putting answer to this question as it is somehow related and this question is high in search results.
First thing is you must remember about what was mentioned in answer marked as accepted - package hierarchy.
Second important thing is that if you use Webflux you need to use some different package while when using Spring MVC e.g. for MongoDB you need to add
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb-reactive</artifactId>
</dependency>
with -reactive at the end.
Solution 20 - Java
Add @Repository in your dao class
@Repository
public interface UserDao extends CrudRepository<User, Long> {
User findByUsername(String username);
User findByEmail(String email);
}
Solution 21 - Java
you can add @Service , when defining your service class
ex:
@Service
public class myService {
public String getData(){
return "some data";
}
}
Solution 22 - Java
Spent about 2 hours debugging this error then somewhat figured out I forgot to add Spring Web Mvc Dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
<version>5.3.9</version>
</dependency>
Solution 23 - Java
You need to add to your main class a @ComponentScan annotation, telling it to scan the package of the services, otherwise it will not initialize these beans
Solution 24 - Java
This may happen when two beans have same names.
Module1Beans.java
:
@Configuration
public class Module1Beans {
@Bean
public GoogleAPI retrofitService(){
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("https://www.google.com/")
.addConverterFactory(JacksonConverterFactory.create())
.build();
return retrofit.create(GoogleAPI.class);
}
}
Module2Beans.java
:
@Configuration
public class Module2Beans {
@Bean
public GithubAPI retrofitService(){
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("https://www.github.com/")
.addConverterFactory(JacksonConverterFactory.create())
.build();
return retrofit.create(GithubAPI.class);
}
}
A bean named retrofitService
is first created, and it's type is GoogleAPI
, then covered by a GithubAPI
becauce they're both created by a retrofitService()
method.
Now when you @Autowired
a GoogleAPI
you'll get a message like Field googleAPI in com.example.GoogleService required a bean of type 'com.example.rest.GoogleAPI' that could not be found.
Solution 25 - Java
In my case i have just put the Class MyprojectApplication in a package(com.example.start) with the same level of model, controller,service packages.
Solution 26 - Java
I know it is old, but wanna add my 5 cents.
I used .service
and .service.impl
in a folder structure to separate the service with it's implementation. Forget to implement the ServiceImplementation piece.
Solution 27 - Java
For me this message:
org.apache.wicket.WicketRuntimeException: Can't instantiate page using constructor 'public org.package.MyClass(org.apache.wicket.request.mapper.parameter.PageParameters)' and argument ''. Might be it doesn't exist, may be it is not visible (public).
meant "in my wicket unit test at the top you have to manually add that bean in like"
appContext.putBean(myClass);
Solution 28 - Java
I followed all steps and instructions followed by OP here, took care of blank space around username and password(even though spring takes care of whitespaces in properties file), still was either facing
could not find bean for ___Repository
(you interface which extends JPARepository)
OR after adding @EnableJPARepository
could not find bean for EntityManagerFactory
i solved it by changing spring boot starter parent version from 2.3.2 to 2.2.1 in pom.xml
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.2.1.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
and adding following dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
I did not need to add any of following, spring boot does it itself
- @EnableJPAReposity - since i already had all class with same root package
- spring.data.jpa.repositories.enabled in application.properties
- spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver in application properties
Solution 29 - Java
Two types of mongo dependencies -
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb-reactive</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>
</dependency>
Two types of repositories -
MongoRepository
ReactiveMongoRepository
Make sure you are using the right combination.
Solution 30 - Java
The class annotated with @SpringBootApplication should be in your root package (by default all classes in this package and subpackages are scanned
) or you need to specify other packages (controller, entity and others) in @ComponentScan.
In order to create bean and inject it class in spring framework, Class
should be marked with @Componet, @Service or @Repository in class level accordingly. Make sure you have used it.
Solution 31 - Java
Putting this value in application.properties
worked for me
spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration
Note that if your package structure is the same as that in the accepted answer, all you need is @SpringBootApplication
annotation on your main class (no additional parameters inside it)
Solution 32 - Java
For me adding dependency 'org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-sync:4.3.2' works perfectly. Didn't found that answer here.
Solution 33 - Java
ONLY INTERESTING IF YOU TRY TO AUTOWIRE AN ABSTRACT CLASS!
You are running in to this issue because Spring Boot can't find an abstract class by default.
First, an abstract class isn't component-scanned since it can't be instantiated without a concrete subclass.
Means you have to create a subclass for this abstract class to solve the issue.
Solution 34 - Java
Using this solved my issue.
@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages={"com.example.something", "com.example.application"})
