Error creating bean with name ‘userController’ defined in file

i got Error creating bean with name ‘userController’ defined in file. Unfortunately, i’m new in Java and Spring at all so can’t understand how to fix all of this.

In my class “UserController” class constructor and method is never used (actually i don’t know why too). I started my DB PostgreSQL and tried to start my stpringBootproject, but failed. If anyone can help with “what should i do” it would be really nice.. My environment: Linux Mint Intellij IDEA (Community)

This is my first question on stackoverflow, so if i made some mistakes, please inform me about it, I’ll appreciate this.

Answer

Even though the intitial error message mentions that it couldn’t create your UserController bean, you should always check the root cause (the last “Caused by” in your stack trace). In your case, this is the following:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.PersistenceContext.synchronization()Ljavax/persistence/SynchronizationType;

This is often an indication that you have a different version of a library than the one expected. In your case, you manually included the hibernate-core and hibernate-entitymanager dependencies within your pom.xml, even though both of them are already included thanks to spring-boot-starter-data-jpa.

To solve this issue, you can remove the following dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.4.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.3.Final</version>
</dependency>

Another issue is that you’re using the wrong @Id annotation for your User entity. Just like the @Entity and @GeneratedValue annotations, the @Id annotation should come from javax.persistence.Id, rather than the one you’re using.


The last issue I found is that you wrote your own UserRepositoryImpl. Custom repositories are used for advanced queries, but in that case, you should make them implement your interface and annotate them properly (eg. with @Repository).

However, in your case you don’t need it. It’s not picked up by Spring and you’re not using it anyways. Even though everything will work now, you can safely delete this class.


There is also a pragmatic issue with your saveUser() method. When writing REST API’s, you usually don’t want to read from the console (Scanner), but take input from your API in stead.

However, that’s a different issue than the one mentioned in the question and I suggest you create a new question about it once you’re ready for it. Before that, it might be interesting to check the documentation about how you could retrieve an input within a controller.
