Cannot resolve the name 'repository:repository' to a(n) 'type definition' component.

Question

I am getting this error while trying to integrate Spring Data. The full stack trace is

nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa.xsd; lineNumber: 18; columnNumber: 48; src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name 'repository:repository' to a(n) 'type definition' component.

at org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ReaderContext.error(ReaderContext.java:85)
at org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ReaderContext.error(ReaderContext.java:76)

The XML file is

<beans:beans xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa"

Answer 1

I had the same problem with the XSD file.

I've changed my Spring data Data Commons 1.4 to Spring Data Commons 1.3.2 and everything works perfectly fine now...

You need to define Spring Data JPA XML namespace first:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:jpa="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa.xsd">

    <jpa:repositories base-package="com.interviewedonline.poc.repositories" />

</beans>

Or if you want to use default XML namespace as in your example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa.xsd">

    <repositories base-package="com.interviewedonline.poc.repositories" />

</beans:beans>

No luck. I have tried both the options. Still getting the same exception. Not sure is there any jar conflict. I am using 3.1.2 version of spring. – Coelenteron

@AnanthDuari: Do you have spring-data-jpa*.jar on your CLASSPATH? spring*.jar is not enough. – Sink

yes, I have spring-data-jpa-1.1.0.RELEASE.jar, spring-data-rest-core-1.0.0.RC3.jar, spring-data-rest-repository-1.0.0.RC3.jar and spring-data-rest-webmvc-1.0.0.RC3.jar. Still getting the error. – Coelenteron

have tried with different versions of XSD. Still the same problem. Even though I can see repository:repository there. Tried with springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa-1.0.xsd – Coelenteron

I am getting exactly the same issue #13246606 – Alderson

Answer 3

I had the same error. Adding spring-data-commons-core seemed to fix it for me.

Could you please share your spring(and spring-data spring-data-solr) version? – Alderson

I'm using spring 3.1.1, spring-data-jpa-1.1.0, and spring-data-commons-core-1.3.0. – Coracoid

After changing the version of spring-data-commons-core from 1.4.0 to 1.3.0， I got java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryConfigurationExtension – Alderson

@Alderson have you found a solution yet? – Lawanda

Answer 4

I added this jar spring-data-commons-core-1.2.1.RELEASE

In Pom.xml added the below entry

<dependency>
     <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
     <artifactId>spring-data-commons-core</artifactId>
     <version>1.2.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

In the jpa configurator file added the below entry under xsi:schemaLocation http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa-1.2.xsd

Answer 5

I recently had this error updating the dependencies of an old project. The problem I had was that this dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-commons-core</artifactId>
  <version>1.5.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

has been renamed and now the correct one is

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-commons</artifactId>
  <version>1.8.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

As I had declared spring-data-commons-core and spring-data-commons was a transitive dependency of data-mongodb, I ended up with both jars and the classloader was using spring-data-commons-core that is incorrect.

Answer 6

In some Spring .jar files,you can find META-INF folder.You'll find spring.handlers and spring.schemas in that folder. spring-data-commons-.jar do have. If you use Maven, you should create META-INF folder under src/main/resources and append the content of spring.handlers,spring.schemas in the spring-data-commons-.jar to your spring.handlers,spring.schemas.

Have a good luck!
