"IllegalArgumentException: Not a managed type" in String application

I am using Spring Boot and JPA. It is here

I've got a domain that looks like this. Also it seems Entity annotation is deprecated so I am using @DynamicUpdate instead.

@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
@DynamicUpdate
public class Person {
    private String id;
    private String name;
}

My @SpringBootApplication class looks like this

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan("com.lapots.breed.platform.cloud.boot")
@EnableJpaRepositories("com.lapots.breed.platform.cloud.boot.repository")
@EntityScan("com.lapots.breed.platform.cloud.boot.domain")
public class JavaCloudSampleApplication {

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

    // executed after all beans instantiated
    @Bean
    public CommandLineRunner data(PersonRepository repository) {
        return (args) -> {
            repository.save(new Person(UUID.randomUUID().toString(), "Nike"));
        };
    }
}

The @Repository class looks like this

@Repository
public interface PersonRepository extends JpaRepository<Person, String> {
}

The @Service that uses this class looks like this

@Service
@Transactional
public class PersonService implements IPersonService {

    @Autowired
    private PersonRepository personRepository;

    @Override
    public Person findPerson(String id) {
        return personRepository.findOne(id);
    }

    @Override
    public Person generatePerson() {
        Person person = new Person();
        person.setId(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
        person.setName("Nike");
        return person;
    }
}

But when I start application I get this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'personService': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'personRepository'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error
 creating bean with name 'personRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not a managed type: class com.lapots.breed.platform.cloud.boot.domain.Person

Where did you find the statement that @Entity is deprecated? Because 'Not a managed type' basically means that @Entity is missing. – Florian Cramer
Well entity annotation of hibernate - not javax.persistence is deprecated – lapots
But Hibernates @Entity is just an extension to the JPA one. So if you add the JPA one to Person you should be fine. – Florian Cramer
Possible duplicate of nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not a managed type: class – Srikanth Anusuri

Maybe Person needs the Entity annotation since you are using JPA.

@Entity
@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
@DynamicUpdate
public class Person {
    private String id;
    private String name;
}

You need to add @Entity in your model/POJO class as below,

@Entity
public class Person {
  //your model goes here
}

In Spring Boot, the base names of your repo packages must match the base names of your entity packages.

Although this question is more than 3 years old, I would like to tell the solution which has worked for me.

Put all the classes/interfaces/repositories/models etc. in the same package. This will work.

I got the same error on my Spring Boot project. I added a new package but I didn't edit componentScan.

It was like that and I got the error:

com.okan.entity

I just changed as I added:

com.okan.model.entity

import javax.persistence.Entity;

@Entity add in to class then it will work

Do you have your entity mapped in your persistence.xml? Because I was with the same error and then I realized that I haven't had the entity mapped there

Writing up for people who will search in the future:

In your entity manager method from LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean, set package which has dto/pojo class to setPackagesToScan()

e.g. :

@Bean @Primary public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory() throws Exception { LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean(); em.setDataSource(dataSource()); em.setPackagesToScan(new String[] {"com.abc.mainRepository.model"}); HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter(); em.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter); HashMap<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<>(); properties.put("hibernate.dialect", dialect); em.setJpaPropertyMap(properties); return em; }

Worked for me! (My POJO was inside the model package).
