I keep getting the ConflictingBeanDefinitionException error in my Spring boot application. I am not entirely sure as to how to address it, I have several @Configuration annotated classes helping to set up Thymeleaf, Spring Security and Web. Why is the application trying to setup the homeController twice? (and where is it trying to do this?)
The error is:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException:
Failed to parse configuration class [org.kemri.wellcome.hie.Application]; nested exception is org.springframework.context.annotation.ConflictingBeanDefinitionException:
Annotation-specified bean name 'homeController' for bean class [org.kemri.wellcome.hie.HomeController] conflicts with existing, non-compatible bean definition of same name and class [org.kemri.wellcome.hie.controller.HomeController]
My spring boot main application initializer:
@EnableScheduling
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
@EnableCaching
@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
@Override
protected final SpringApplicationBuilder configure(final SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(Application.class);
}
}
My database config file:
@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages="org.kemri.wellcome.hie.repositories")
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")

My Thymeleaf config file:

engine.setAdditionalDialects(dialects);
return engine;
}
@Bean
public ThymeleafViewResolver thymeleafViewResolver() {
ThymeleafViewResolver resolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
resolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
resolver.setViewClass(ThymeleafTilesView.class);
resolver.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
return resolver;
}
}
My Web config class:
@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcAutoConfigurationAdapter {
@Autowired
private Environment env;
@Bean
public JavaMailSenderImpl javaMailSenderImpl() {
JavaMailSenderImpl mailSenderImpl = new JavaMailSenderImpl();

mailSenderImpl.setPassword(env.getProperty("smtp.password"));
Properties javaMailProps = new Properties();
javaMailProps.put("mail.smtp.auth", true);
javaMailProps.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", true);
mailSenderImpl.setJavaMailProperties(javaMailProps);
return mailSenderImpl;
}
@Bean
public CacheManager cacheManager() {
return new ConcurrentMapCacheManager();
}
}
My controller (where there is an error setting up the controller)
@Controller
public class HomeController {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HomeController.class);
/**
* Simply selects the home view to render by returning its name.
*/
@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String home(Locale locale, Model model) {
logger.info("Welcome home! The client locale is {}.", locale);
Date date = new Date();
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.LONG, locale);
String formattedDate = dateFormat.format(date);
model.addAttribute("serverTime", formattedDate );
return "index.html";
}
}
What might be causing the ConflictingBeanDefinitionException error for my controller class?
