Vaadin object is not an instance of declaring class

I’m trying to call a method in class named (DataActions) to the dashboard view so the grid can be able to receive the objects given after the method execution, but still no luck solving this error (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class).

-Class (DataSession) is the class responsible for opening the database session. -Class (DataActions) is the class responsible for the methods used to extract information from the database using a session created by an (DataSession object) -Method updateGrid calls a method in (DataActions) using an object created.

This project was created with vaadin hello world example project, so it uses springboot (version 2.4.5) and vaadin flow (version 14.7.0).

–Dashboard View–

package com.example.application.views.dashboard;

import com.example.application.Controller.DataActions;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.grid.Grid;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.orderedlayout.VerticalLayout;
import com.example.application.Model.PatientsTblEntity;
import com.vaadin.flow.router.Route;
import com.vaadin.flow.router.PageTitle;
import com.example.application.views.MainLayout;
import com.vaadin.flow.router.RouteAlias;

@PageTitle("Dashboard")
@Route(value = "dashboard", layout = MainLayout.class)
@RouteAlias(value = "", layout = MainLayout.class)
public class DashboardView extends VerticalLayout {

    Grid<PatientsTblEntity> patients_grid = new Grid<>(PatientsTblEntity.class);
    DataActions actions = new DataActions();
    public DashboardView(){
        addClassName("list-view");
        configureGrid();
        add(patients_grid);
        updateGrid();

    }




    /*
        -Configuring grid properties, so it can handle data coming from another function
     */
    public void configureGrid(){
        patients_grid.addClassName("contact-grid");
        patients_grid.setSizeFull();
//        patients_grid.setColumns("txtCode", "txtName", "dblAge", "datDateOfBirth", "datOfLasttVisit");
        patients_grid.getColumns().forEach(patientsTblEntityColumn -> {
            patientsTblEntityColumn.setAutoWidth(true);
        });
    }

    /*
        -Update grid with information coming from the database using actions from class DataActions
     */
    public void updateGrid(){
            patients_grid.setItems(actions.getAllPatientsList());


    }

}

–DataActions class–

package com.example.application.Controller;

import com.example.application.Model.PatientsTblEntity;
import org.hibernate.Session;

import java.util.List;

public class DataActions {
    public DataActions(){}
    DataSessions dataSessions = new DataSessions();
    /*
        -Variable where session is created
        -Created as a variable, so it can be opened and closed at ease in every function
     */
    private Session session = dataSessions.getSession();


    public List<PatientsTblEntity> getAllPatientsList(){
        session.beginTransaction();
        List<PatientsTblEntity> list = session.getSession().createQuery("FROM PatientsTblEntity P").getResultList();
        session.close();
        return list;
    }

Answer

I have found the solution, I was missing the annotation @Component in the class where the method is, and the annotation @Autowired where I want the instance of the class to be created.
