Parameter 0 of constructor in com.example.demo.service.UserServiceImpl required a bean of type 'com.example.demo.dao.UserDao'

Question

can anyone help me debug this error

Parameter 0 of constructor in com.example.demo.service.UserServiceImpl required a 
bean of type 'com.example.demo.dao.UserDao' that could not be found.

Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'com.example.demo.dao.UserDao' in your configuration.

Below are my files:

UserDaoImpl.java

package com.example.demo.dao;

import com.example.demo.model.User;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.BeanPropertyRowMapper;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

    @Override
    public Long addUser(User user) {
        String sql = "INSERT INTO user (first_name, last_name, email, user_avatar_url, podcast_id) " +
                "VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
        jdbcTemplate.update(sql, user.getFirstName(), user.getLastName(), user.getEmail(),
                user.getUserAvatarUrl(), user.getPodcastId());

        // Retrieve the auto-generated user_id
        return jdbcTemplate.queryForObject("SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()", Long.class);
    }

    @Override
    public void updateUser(User user) {
        String sql = "UPDATE user SET first_name = ?, last_name = ?, email = ?, " +
                "user_avatar_url = ?, podcast_id = ? WHERE user_id = ?";
        jdbcTemplate.update(sql, user.getFirstName(), user.getLastName(), user.getEmail(),

        jdbcTemplate.update(sql, userId);
    }

UserDao.java

package com.example.demo.dao;
import com.example.demo.model.User;

import java.util.List;

public interface UserDao {
    User getUserById(Long userId);

    List<User> getAllUsers();

    Long addUser(User user);

    void updateUser(User user);

    void deleteUser(Long userId);
}

DemoApplication.java

package com.example.demo;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;

@SpringBootApplication
//@ComponentScan("com.example.demo.service")
public class DemoApplication {

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

}

I have tried @ComponentScan("com.example.demo.service") in the DemoApplication.java but it doesn't work.

I've also tried putting @Autowire and mark the service with @Service. Also I've checked all other annotations and i don't see anything else that's missing

I expect a clean build and access to the apis

error

Answer 1

You are missing an implementation of UserService. If you wanted to keep your current implementation of @Repository (UserDao), then you could rewrite your service as following:

@Service
public class UserService {

    private final UserDao userDao;

    @Autowired
    public UserService(UserDao userDao) {
        this.userDao = userDao;
    }

    // implement using your DAO
    User getUserById(Long userId);
    List<User> getAllUsers();
    Long addUser(User user);
    void updateUser(User user);
    void deleteUser(Long userId);
}

That should make it available to UserController then.

EDIT:

After your updates, it seems that your UserDaoImpl can't be automatically injected now, since it is missing @Autowired:

@Repository
public class UserDaoImpl implements UserDao {

    private final JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;

    @Autowired
    public UserDaoImpl(JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate) {
        this.jdbcTemplate = jdbcTemplate;
    }

Answer 2

You haven't provided a UserService implementation and Spring can't find it as a bean. You have a couple of options:

1. Provide an implementation of your UserService interface, put the @Service("UserService") annotation on the implementation class, and remove the annotation from the interface.

2. Change the interface to a concrete class and implement the methods.

There are additional ways, such as abstract classes, but they tend to be uncommon.
