I have a Media entity that has some basic fields for files uploaded by the user. For saving the bytes of the files uploaded, I want to create a custom repository that holds that functionality. Following the steps in the Spring documentation, I've created an interface that looks like this:
public interface MediaBytesRepository
{
public byte[] getBytes(Media media) throws IOException;
public void saveBytes(Media media, byte[] bytes) throws IOException;
public void appendBytes(Media media, byte[] bytes) throws IOException;
public void deleteBytes(Media media) throws IOException;
public boolean bytesExist(Media media) throws IOException;
}
Then I provided an implementation for this interface called MediaBytesRepositoryImpl
With this, I then created the following interface:
public interface MediaRepository extends JpaRepository<Media, Long>, MediaBytesRepository
{
}
Now, when I start up the server, I get the following stack trace:
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

I found this similar post, but the suggestions there (all in same package, naming convention) are things I'm already doing. All my media classes and interfaces are in the same package, and I'm using the "Impl" suffix.
Can someone please shed some light on why I'm getting this error and how I can fix it? Thanks.
You wrote:

No you do not.
Rename you MediaBytesRepository
to MediaRepositoryCustom
.
And of course you need an implementation of MediaRepositoryCustom
with the name MediaRepositoryImpl
.
