Message source not found .properties file [duplicate] - spring

Question

After upgrading from Spring Boot 1.2.8 to 1.3.2 my application suddenly stopped working.
Upon application's startup I get the following exception.
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {#org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.raiseNoSuchBeanDefinitionException(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:1373)
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.doResolveDependency(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:1119)

at org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor$AutowiredFieldElement.inject(AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.java:545)
... 25 more
It looks like there is a problem with ResourceBundleMessageSource but I do not have any idea why. In version 1.2.8 everything worked like a charm.
This is my pom.xml

Answer 1

It sounds like you have one or more messages_${locale}.properties files but don't have a messages.properties file. From the 1.3.2 release announcement:
If you are upgrading from 1.3.1 there is one potentially breaking change; we now only search for messages.properties (and not messages*.properties) to enable auto-configuration of a message source. If you previously had a message file of the form messages_en.properties and you didn’t include a default messages.properties file, you will now need to add one.

Answer 2

#Jagger, #XtremeBiker point is valid to use the parent dependencies which will in turn include all required libraries on its own & you end up with clean pom file as well. Reason why your earlier version spring-boot project was working is that you had all required dependencies in place but its quite common that on any successive SPRING release some dependencies were removed while some are included & hence its highly likely it would break any working code after an update.
Now about the above issue, it can be seen that ResourceBundleMessageSource is missing on your project classpath so pls include the latest version of spring-context & try :-
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>4.2.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
