I'm developing a web app using Spring Boot, Hibernate 5 and MySQL DB. Trying to start an application I get such a message:

Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the auto-configuration report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.
2017-03-29 09:36:59.862 ERROR 9312 --- [           main] o.s.b.d.LoggingFailureAnalysisReporter   : 

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

A component required a bean named 'jpaTransactionManager' that could not be found.


Action:

Consider defining a bean named 'jpaTransactionManager' in your configuration.

My configuration is as follows:

application.properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=root
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

</project>

Application.java:

package core;

import core.storage.StorageProperties;
import core.storage.StorageService;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.EnableConfigurationProperties;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableConfigurationProperties(StorageProperties.class)
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    CommandLineRunner init(StorageService storageService) {
        return (args) -> {
            storageService.deleteAll();
            storageService.init();
        };
    }
}

I suppose there are few ways to declare a bean named 'jpaTransactionManager' explicitly. With Spring configuration in .xml or in application.properties.

I have 3 questions in that case:

  • What is the best way to declare a bean named 'jpaTransactionManager'?
  • Can it be done automatically?
  • And may I dispense with .xml?

I am not sure it can be done automatically, I think that you need to declare it. Good pratice would be to have your configuration in a separate @Configuration bean (no need for an xml config), in which you can define the jpaTransactionManager.

You can find such an example here.
