Error creating bean with name 'activityController' - spring

Question

I'm having this problem while running on Server (Tomcat) my project. I have created a Maven project using Spring. The Java version is Java 1.8.
NO SPRING-BOOT!
Error creating bean with name 'activityController': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'activityService'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'activityService': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'dao'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'com.calendar.repository.ActivityDAO' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {#org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}
Could you please help me? Thank you!
This is the code.
Thank you!!!

Answer 1

Try adding #EnableJpaRepositories to your AppConfig:
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#EnableTransactionManagement
#EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "com.calendar.repository")
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.calendar")
public class AppConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
#Override
public void configureDefaultServletHandling(DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer) {
//to see html files
configurer.enable();
}
//Entity manager
#Bean(name = "Calendar_PU")
public LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean getEntityManagerFactoryBean() {
LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean factoryBean = new LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean();
factoryBean.setPersistenceUnitName("Calendar_PU");
return factoryBean;
}
}
You also need to change your pom.xml. There are too many dependencies (most of them are already part of spring-data-jpa) and spring-data-jpa requires Spring 5.3.5.

This is why you should consider using Spring Boot. You will avoid issues with dependencies that do not work together.
