Spring boot java.lang.ClassCastException same class

Question

I added devtools as dependency to my Spring Boot applcation. Now I'm getting the error java.lang.ClassCastException: com.myproj.Individual cannot be cast to com.myproj.Individual. Searching around it's about the devtools cache. I'm not sure what's the solution though. Can I totally disable it? I tried spring.cache.type=none in my applications.properties, still get the error.

This is how set my devtools dep

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
        <optional>true</optional>
</dependency>

here the stacktrace:

Individuo getIndividualbyNodeid(String nodeid); is a method of the IndividuaRepository

@Repository
public interface IndividualRepository extends GraphRepository<Individual> {

    List<Individual> findAll();

    void deleteAll();

    Individual getIndividuoByNodeid(String nodeid);
}

Please note there is no explicit class I wrote which implements this interface, the @Repository annotation creates the bean at runtime (as far I understand).

I didn't give much more details because I thought it's a known devtools problem. Some trace here ClassCastException when casting to the same class

Here another question about it java.lang.ClassCastException: DTOObject cannot be cast to DTOObject I do not get if there is a solution..

could you add a stacktrace or more about the compile error? hard to tell why the issue with just what you've provided us with — blurfus, Jun 23 '17 at 00:20
how is the method `getIndividualByNodeid(...)` used? - what does it return? - give us enough information to help you.... in other words, help us, help you! — blurfus, Jun 27 '17 at 18:01
Shouldn't your interface extend `JpaRepository` ? - also, do you have an entity named `Individual` and also a POJO with the same name? (this will cause you problems) — blurfus, Jun 28 '17 at 00:28
yes I have a `Individual` class annotated with `@NodeEntity`. Why you say I should extend `JpaRepository`? as you could see I'm on `spring-data-neo4j` — alfredopacino, Jun 28 '17 at 00:43
