Question

I am fresh to spring boot and currently facing this error in STS

"Error creating bean with name 'employeeDao': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'sessionfactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException"

        System.out.println("The record is add in the system" + id);
            session.getTransaction().commit();
        }catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Please help me,

Thank you!

Unless you configure any beans somewhere, there is no way for spring to know which beans it should actually autowire — XtremeBaumer

The issue that you are facing is due to the HibernateUtilsConfig.java configuration class that you have provided.In your EmployeeDao class you are autowiring the sessionfactory bean. So , when springboot tries to autowire the bean , it fails with the following error :

Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'sessionfactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'hibernateUtilsConfig': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'entityManagerFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'getSessionFactoty': Requested bean is currently in creation: Is there an unresolvable circular reference?

becase entityManagerFactory bean is not available.

Since you are using spring-boot , you may not configure everything manually. You can use the default auto configurations from spring-boot by adding the following dependency :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>

then , you could provide the appropriate keys in the application.properties or application.yml and spring-boot will configure everything for you.

application.properties

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.username=mysqluser
spring.datasource.password=mysqlpass
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306myDb?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true

If you still want to set everything up manually try creating the entity manager bean like :

   @Bean
   public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory() {
      LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em 
        = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
      em.setDataSource(dataSource());
      em.setPackagesToScan(new String[] { "com.example.persistence.model" });

      JpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
      em.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
      em.setJpaProperties(additionalProperties());

      return em;
   }
