java - Autowiring fails: Not an managed Type

Question

I have a big problem in my diploma project and would be very glad if you guys could help me! I made a Maven Multi Module Project and have 3 "Core-projects"

• NaviClean: (Parent)
• NaviCleanDomain: contains the domain model with all my entities and an interface MeinRemoteDienst which is needed by NaviCleanServer and NaviCleanCleint for the Hessianprotocol
• NaviCleanClient: conatins the GUI and a Hessian connection to NaviCleanServer
• NaviCleanServer: Here are my repositories, my connection to the DB and the Implementation of the interface einRemoteDienst NaviCleanServer & NaviCleanClient have NaviCleanDomain in Maven as Dependency.

Now every time I try to start the Server on my Tomcat I get the following error:

ERROR: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:

ModelBase:

package at.naviclean.domain;

Kassa:

BaseRepository

package at.naviclean.repositories;

import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;

import at.naviclean.domain.ModelBase;

public interface BaseRepository<T extends ModelBase> extends
        JpaRepository<T, Long> {

import at.naviclean.domain.Kassa;

public interface KassaRepository extends BaseRepository<Kassa> {
    List<Kassa> findByGeld(int geld);

    Kassa findByName(String name);

    @Query("select k from Kassa k where k.geld = ?1")
    Kassa findByGeld1(int geld);
}

MeinRemoteDienstImpl:

package at.naviclean.service.impl;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import at.naviclean.domain.Kassa;
import at.naviclean.repositories.KassaRepository;
import at.naviclean.service.MeinRemoteDienst;

@Service
public class MeinRemoteDienstImpl implements MeinRemoteDienst {

    @Autowired(required = true)
    public KassaRepository kassaR;

    public int getKassaCount(int plus) {
        return 2;
    }


    public String getNameFromKassa(int id) {
        return kassaR.findById(id + 0l).getName();
    }

    @Override
    public Kassa findById(int id) {
        return = kassaR.findById(id + 0l);
    }

Answer 1

I got an very helpful advice from Oliver Gierke:

The last exception you get actually indicates a problem with your JPA setup. "Not a managed bean" means not a type the JPA provider is aware of. If you're setting up a Spring based JPA application I'd recommend to configure the "packagesToScan" property on the LocalContainerEntityManagerFactory you have configured to the package that contains your JPA entities. Alternatively you can list all your entity classes in persistence.xml, but that's usually more cumbersome.

The former error you got (NoClassDefFound) indicates the class mentioned is not available on the projects classpath. So you might wanna check the inter module dependencies you have. As the two relevant classes seem to be located in the same module it might also just be an issue with an incomplete deployment to Tomcat (WTP is kind of bitchy sometimes). I'd definitely recommend to run a test for verification (as you already did). As this seems to lead you to a different exception, I guess it's really some Eclipse glitch

Thanks!
