spring boot : The import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate cannot be resolved

Question

I am having a hard time with one of my test programs which I am trying to write using springboot. When I try to import the JdbcTemplate class in the DAO layer I get an error : The import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate cannot be resolved

I am not sure what I am missing, I have checked the dependency and they look fine to me. Below is my pom.xml

Also attach is the list of jar imports . Can some one please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Answer 1

1. delete the folder ‘spring-jdbc’ from the maven repository:

%your_path%.m2\repository\org\springframework\spring-jdbc

2. open Eclipse -> right click on your project -> Maven -> Update project...

P.S. pom.xml should contain the jdbc dependency:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jdbc</artifactId>
</dependency>

Answer 2

Looks your IDE is not updating the dependencies, try run as maven project - install.

I suggest you to use springboot, also.

Answer 3

I checked with your code but its fine, it have JdbcTemplate library class, seems like a simple error. try to update your project "right click project->maven->update project" or clean maven.
