I’m trying to get EclipseLink to work with Spring (MVC and spring-data) version 3.1.1

  • 0

I’m trying to get EclipseLink to work with Spring (MVC and spring-data) version 3.1.1 and I’m running to a problem right from the outset. The error below occurs on starting up Tomcat (v7.0). I’ve searched for the error but come up with very little and I’m not sure where to go next. There is some talk of this problem occurring when using interfaces with Entity classes but as you can see my User.java class extends nothing.

Here is my User.java class:

/**
 * 
 */
package com.proxi.user;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;

/**
 * Represents an application user.
 */
@Entity
@Table(name = "user")
public class User {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "id")
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "first_name")
    private String firstName;

    @Column(name = "last_name")
    private String lastName;

    // /////// GETTERS AND SETTERS ///////////

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
}

And I have a root-context.xml file where I declare components:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd">

    <!-- Root Context: defines shared resources visible to all other web components -->
    <bean id="userService" class="com.proxi.user.UserService" />    

    <!-- Starting with Spring 3.1, the persistence.xml XML file is no longer necessary. 
         The LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean now supports a ‘packagesToScan’ property where the packages to scan 
         for @Entity classes can be specified. -->
    <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
       <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
       <property name="packagesToScan" value="com.proxi.user" />
       <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
          <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.EclipseLinkJpaVendorAdapter">
             <property name="showSql" value="true" />
             <property name="generateDdl" value="true" />
             <property name="databasePlatform" value="org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.HSQLPlatform" />
          </bean>
       </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
       <property name="driverClassName" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver" />
       <property name="url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:file:\Users\nly31175\hsqldb;shutdown=true" />
       <property name="username" value="proxi" />
       <property name="password" value="" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="txManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">

    You are importing the wrong @Id annotation. remove the spring one, add the javax.persistence one.

    Replace

    import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
    

    with

    import javax.persistence.Id;
