Error creating Bean with name 'defaultValidator'-CodePudding

I have an entity class InAppNotification.java that looks like this:

@Entity
@Table(name = "notification")
public class InAppNotification {
    
    @Column(name = "inapptext")
    String text;
    
    @Column(name = "deeplink")
    String deepLink;
    
    @Column(name = "userid")
    Integer userId;
    
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    Long id;
    
    @Column(name = "isread")
    Boolean isRead = false;

Am using JPA to handle the database queries and this is how the jpa interface is defined:

public interface InAppNotificationRepository extends JpaRepository<InAppNotification, Long> {

    List<InAppNotification> findByUserId(@Param("userid") Integer userId);
    
}

This is how my application.properties looks like:

spring.datasource.url= jdbc:postgresql://....
spring.datasource.username= ....
spring.datasource.password= ....

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.lob.non_contextual_creation= true
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect= org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect


# Hibernate ddl auto (create, create-drop, validate, update)
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto= update

However, when I try to package the application after building by running mvn clean package
This is the issue that I am getting:

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location: javax.el.ELManager.getExpressionFactory(ELManager.java:38)

[[EDIT]] This is how my pom.xml looks like:

Any help would be appreciated!

Tried with mvn clean install, and the suggestions listed over here - Error creating bean with name 'defaultValidator' defined in class path resource.

Didn't help.

CodePudding user response：

I replicated this issue and fixed it by removing some unnecessary dependencies available in pom.xml

Issue:

Some unnecessary dependencies are available in pom.xml that is causing this issue.

Solution:

Please remove the following dependencies from pom.xml and try again.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
    <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.GA</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>        
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>            
</dependency>

Why?:

If you are using SpringBoot framework then following dependencies are enough to do database connectivity

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

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
    <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
    <version>42.2.12</version>
</dependency>

and this dependency is enough to do Hibernate-related validations like annotations@NotEmpty, @Pattern, @Min, @Max etc

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