The problem seems to be that the entity manager factory isn't able to create the proxy bean needed. This is my xml context param:

I've tried to search for answers to my problem since like 3 days ago. Help me please, you guys are my last resort, sorry to bother.

Answer 1

I have to answer myself, I solved it deleting the
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-commons</artifactId>
<version>${spring.data.version}</version>
</dependency>
dependency. Probably there was some problem with the versioning or conflict.
