Spring Boot controller required a bean of type 'org.dozer.Mapper' that could not be found - spring-boot

Question

I've created a spring boot project and added
compile('net.sf.dozer:dozer:5.5.1')
to dependencies. But the class, org.dozer.Mapper, is not recognized by my app.
I run gradle clean, gradle buildDependents and gradle build.
But things did not changed.
What should I do ?
my build.gradle
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '2.0.0.RC1'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'
group = 'com.everglowtrading'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
maven { url "https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases" }
}
dependencies {
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-aop')
compile('org.flywaydb:flyway-core')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-hateoas')
compile('org.mybatis.spring.boot:mybatis-spring-boot-starter:1.3.1')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux')
compile('org.springframework.data:spring-data-commons')
compile('com.h2database:h2')
compile('net.sf.dozer:dozer:5.5.1')
runtime('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools')
runtime('com.h2database:h2')
compileOnly('org.projectlombok:lombok')
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
testCompile('io.projectreactor:reactor-test')
}
The controller
package com.myproject.stock.controllers;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Locale;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.dozer.Mapper;

import com.myproject.stock.domain.model.Stock;

import com.myproject.stock.service.StockService;
#RestController
public class StockController {
private static final int DEFAULT_PAGEABLE_SIZE = 5;
#Autowired
Mapper beanMapper;
#Autowired
StockService<Integer> stockService;
#Autowired
MessageSource msg;
#RequestMapping("/")
void index(HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
response.sendRedirect("/stock");
}
#RequestMapping("/stock")
public ModelAndView stock(ModelAndView mav) {
Stock stock = stockService.getItems(11);
List<Stock> stockList = stockService.getAllItems();
String message = msg.getMessage("stock.label", null, Locale.JAPAN);
mav.addObject("stock_id", stock.getId());
mav.addObject("stockList", stockList);
mav.addObject("message", message);
mav.addObject("stockBuildingName", stock.getBuilding_name());
mav.setViewName("stock/search/index");
return mav;
}
#RequestMapping("/stock/search")
public String index(#Validated StockListForm stockListForm
, BindingResult bindingResult
, Pageable pageable
, Model model) {
StockCriteria criteria = beanMapper.map(stockListForm, StockCriteria.class);
Page<Stock> page = stockService.findPageByCriteria(criteria, pageable);
model.addAttribute("page", page);
return "stock/search/index";
}
}

Description:
Field beanMapper in com.myproject.stock.controllers.StockController required a bean of type 'org.dozer.Mapper' that could not be found.
Action:
Consider defining a bean of type 'org.dozer.Mapper' in your configuration.

Answer 1

You haven't define a bean for org.dozer.Mapper type so Spring can't inject a proper instance to your controller class.
The simplest way to define this bean is to add following method to your main Spring application class:
#Bean
public Mapper mapper() {
return new DozerBeanMapper();
}
Alternatively you can put it in any #Configuration annotated class.

Answer 2

For those who might run into the same problem as me:
Add #MapperScan("yourMapperPath") at your spring boot main launch class. If the notation shows as red, reimport your mybatis-spring-boot-starter dependency:
Go to your project pom.xml > right click on the artifactId > Maven > Reimport
I thought I have imported the dependency days ago, but the project didn't.
