Add Spring Project to Spring Boot using Java Built Path

Question

I have a project that connect to MongoDB, configured as below:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "ups.mongo")
@EnableMongoRepositories({ "ups.mongo.repository" })
public class SpringMongoConfig {

    @Bean
    public MongoDbFactory mongoDbFactory() throws Exception {
        return new SimpleMongoDbFactory(new MongoClient("127.0.0.1"), "ReconInput");
    }

    @Bean
    public MongoTemplate mongoTemplate() throws Exception {

        MongoTemplate mongoTemplate = new MongoTemplate(mongoDbFactory());

        return mongoTemplate;

    }
}

Another project is built on Spring boot, with Spring security configured:

@Configuration
public class SpringSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    @Autowired
    private AccessDeniedHandler accessDeniedHandler;

    @Autowired
    private AuthenticateSuccessHandler successHandler;

    @Autowired
    private UserDetailsService userDetailsService;

    @Bean
    public BCryptPasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder() {
        return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.csrf().disable()
            .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/admin/**").hasAuthority("Admin")
                .antMatchers("/common/**").hasAnyAuthority("Admin","User")
                .antMatchers("/home").hasAnyAuthority("Admin","User")
                .and()
            .formLogin()
                .loginPage("/login")
                .successHandler(successHandler).permitAll()
                .and()
            .logout().permitAll()
                .and()
            .exceptionHandling()
                .accessDeniedHandler(accessDeniedHandler);
    }

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(bCryptPasswordEncoder());
    }
}

If I run one by one without reference from Spring Boot App to Mongo Connection Project, it work properly. Contrary, It throw an error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'springSecurityConfig': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'setContentNegotationStrategy' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mvcContentNegotiationManager' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManager]: Factory method 'mvcContentNegotiationManager' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError

Could anyone please suggest or give me some experience?

Thank you so much!

how are you referencing the Mongo Connection Project from the Spring Boot App? i have a spring boot app with default security using a straight up spring app. i have the spring app listed in the dependencies section of the spring boot app. it's hard for me to tell without more details. — user3335083

I found the problem come from the version conflict between Spring boot and Spring.

In Spring boot, the version of spring is set automatically. For example here, I am using Spring boot version 1.5.9.RELEASE. Then the spring version will be 4.3.13.

But in Mongo project, I set spring version 5.0.1.RELEASE. Then the issue happned.

[Solution] To refer Spring boot to another spring project, just make sure the spring version is compatible(same version).
