Spring boot 2.0.3.RELEASE, Spring data rest, application error, failed to start

Question

Unable to start spring boot application.

Repository and its associated domain

import com.vircosolutions.mobileapi.domain.Awards;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.data.rest.core.annotation.RepositoryRestResource;

@RepositoryRestResource(exported = false)
public interface AwardsRepository extends JpaRepository<Integer, 
Awards> {
}

Domain

import lombok.Getter;
import lombok.Setter;
import javax.persistence.*;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Date; 
import java.util.Objects;

@Getter
@Setter
@Entity
@Table(name = "awards")
public class Awards implements Serializable {


private static final long serialVersionUID = -170576994834461289L;


@Id
@Column(name = "id_awards", nullable = false)
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Integer id;

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "id_user", nullable = false)
private Users user;

@Column (name = "rating", nullable = false)
private float rating;

@Column (name = "award_type", nullable = false)
private String awardType;

@Column (name = "award_date", nullable = false)
private Date awardDate;

@Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {
    if (this == o) return true;
    if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
    Awards awards = (Awards) o;
    return id == awards.id &&
            Float.compare(awards.rating, rating) == 0 &&
            Objects.equals(user, awards.user) &&
            Objects.equals(awardType, awards.awardType) &&
            Objects.equals(awardDate, awards.awardDate);
}

@Override
public int hashCode() {

    return Objects.hash(id, user, rating, awardType, awardDate);
}

@Override
public String toString() {
    return "Awards{" +
            "id=" + id +
            ", user=" + user +
            ", rating=" + rating +
            ", awardType='" + awardType + '\'' +
            ", awardDate=" + awardDate +
            '}';
}

}

Main application file looks like

@EnableSpringDataWebSupport
@SpringBootApplication
public class MobileApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) {
        return super.configure(builder);
    }

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

I debugged a lot but unable to find out the root cause. Stach trace is given below. If you need any other file and code it can be provided. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Updated your question: remove the POM and post the code of AwardsRepository and its associated Entity. I am guessing you have reversed the order of the generic arguments declaration. — Alan Hay

Alan Hay Alan Hay · Accepted Answer · 2018-11-22T12:53:12

You have specified the generic types in the wrong order hence the error Not a managed type: class java.lang.Integer

Try:

@RepositoryRestResource(exported = false)
public interface AwardsRepository extends JpaRepository<Awards, Integer> {
}

As an aside, and in line with naming conventions, you should also rename you entity Awards to Award and rename the repository accordingly.
