Spring 4 - Config XML jpa:repositories throwing NoSuchMethodError BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.getEnvironment()

Question

I am attempting to integrate the Gradle project here into a Maven project of mine. The file data-context.xml is used to configure Hibernate with Spring to generate the repositories used for authenticating User requests to the RESTful interface.

Everything is working, but when I attempt to deploy onto a tomcat server I see the following issue:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'securityContextFilter' defined in file [/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/services/WEB-INF/classes/com/services/filter/SecurityContextFilter.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type [com.services.user.UserRepository]: : Error creating bean with name 'userRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Validation failed for query for method public abstract com.services.user.domain.User com.services.user.UserRepository.findBySession(java.lang.String)!; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Validation failed for query for method public abstract com.services.user.domain.User com.services.user.UserRepository.findBySession(java.lang.String)!

I am inclined to think that this is caused by the data-context.xml not initialising properly and therefore making the query validation fail. Below are samples of my code, and the spring dependancies I have included in my pom.

Isn't your query just borked and your config to complex? The following query should work without a subselect `select u from User u where u. authorizationToken.token=?`, the same applies to the one for the expired sessions. Not sure if you need the `@IdClass` but that is from my pov. Another query that would work `select at.user from AuthorizationToken at where at.token=?` no need for the join and again the same applies to the one for the sessions. — M.

What I also don't get is you use Spring Boot but are deploying. Can you show what your class extending `SpringBootServletInitializer` looks like. — M. Deinum, Jul 01 '15 at 08:08
I added the IdClass to User as eclipse was complaining that I hadn't declared one. It is complex, I am trying to get to grips with Spring using this project without much luck as yet! The original Gradle project is booted using a gradle tomcatrun task , so I assume that is where the need for spring-boot comes from. I have removed from the dependencies without any issues, I will try your suggestion for the Query now. Thank you so much for your help — a.hrdie, Jul 01 '15 at 08:13
The error i get without an IdClass is the following: Error creating bean with name 'userRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: This class [class com.bpc.services.user.domain.User] does not define an IdClass — a.hrdie, Jul 01 '15 at 08:27
I guess that is due the fact you are using a composite key for the user, is that really necessary? Do you really need the `@Id` on the `authorizationToken` field? I also doubt you should be mixing `@Entity` and `@Embeddable` and are you really sure it has to be a bi-directional relationship (just because you can doesn't mean you have to). — M. Deinum, Jul 01 '15 at 08:30
thank you for your helpful comments, unfortunately I am still very much a beginner at Hibernate annotations as well as Spring.. I have added a PK id field and removed the @id annotation from the other fields. now I am seeing this error A Foreign key has the wrong number of column. should be 2. I know I need to add the User PK field to the joincolumn names in AuthToken. But then I need to add a referencedColumnName for the token field which I am unsure on. How would you recommend I simplify this to remove the bi-directional relationships and composite key please? Thank you again — a.hrdie, Jul 01 '15 at 10:50
Why would you even need a composite key? I don't see that you just have a join to another table... — M. Deinum, Jul 01 '15 at 10:51
I was already answering the question. You don't need an `id` field as that is already present in the `AbstractPersistable` entity. Check my answer for updated mappings and queries. — M. Deinum, Jul 01 '15 at 11:06

For starters I suggest fixing your entities, you have a basic one-to-one mapping but you are making it way to complex, also you don't need a composite primary key. Next your queries are also way to complex you don't need the join you can simply return the user field from the AuthorizationToken.

Entities

All of your entities are extending either directly or indirectly AbstractPersistable that class already has an id field. Adding an additional @Id isn't needed and will only confuse JPA as you now all of a sudden require a composite primary key. The solution is quite easy remove the custom id fields from the entities.

@Entity
@Table(name="rest_authorization_token")
public class AuthorizationToken extends AbstractPersistable<Long> {

    @Column(length=36)
    private String token;

    @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn
    private User user;

}

The AuthorizationToken isn't embeddable so remove the annotation. For the one-to-one mapping add the @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn annotation. The token field doesn't need to be an @Id there is already an primary key field in the AbstractPersistable.

On the User entity remove the @IdClass as that isn't needed for a simple mapping. If you don't want a bi-directional relationship remove the authorizationToken field from the User entity. If you want to use it, just remove the @Id.

@Entity 
@Table(name="rest_user")
public class User extends BaseEntity {

    @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY,
            mappedBy = "user",
            cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private AuthorizationToken authorizationToken;

}

Note: I omitted the rest of the entities code as that remained unchanged.

Now that the entities are cleaned up, simplify the queries by just returning the user field from the AuthorizationToken.

public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {

    User findByEmailAddress(String emailAddress);

    User findByUuid(String uuid);

    @Query("select user from AuthorizationToken where lastUpdated < ?")
    List<User> findByExpiredSession(Date lastUpdated);

    @Query("select user from AuthorizationToken where token = ?")
    User findBySession(String token);

}

I also noticed that you had a @Query for the findByUuid that shouldn't be needed as Spring Data JPA can generate that query for you.

thank you so much!! the code is much easier to understand with some explanation. you have been a great help — a.hrdie, Jul 01 '15 at 11:27
It has fixed the AuthorizationToken error completely, and the entity is created sucessfully. Now it is stuck on the VerificationToken with a similar issue - org.hibernate.MappingException: property mapping has wrong number of columns: com.services.user.domain.VerificationToken.user, I had hoped to fix this with the same logic but no luck — a.hrdie, Jul 01 '15 at 11:40
Add it to your question, to see if there is anything wrong with the mapping. A simple `@ManyToOne` on the `user` field in the `VerificationToken` should be enough. — M. Deinum, Jul 01 '15 at 11:44
In the failing run, I realised i had left an id filed in the User field. When I remove this, eclipse error log tells me that there is no PK field for the entity, even though I am extending AbstractPersistable. The same is true for my VerficationToken class, if I remove a declared Id field, the entity is not valid in Eclipse — a.hrdie, Jul 01 '15 at 11:53
Sometimes you should ignore errors in Eclipse (at times it is a bit sketchy at detecting errors). Just compile and run your application and see if it works (I would expect so). — M. Deinum, Jul 01 '15 at 11:54
Nice!! I am still relying too much on IDE help i think. It is now working perfectly. Thank you for your patience — a.hrdie, Jul 01 '15 at 12:00
