Well, I searched Google and found many results, but none of them was able to answer my problem. So, here it goes.
I am trying to study Spring MVC and Spring Data JPA by doing a minimal implementation of pinterest clone. So, following is the parts of code which I think is relevant to my problem.
Models/Entities
@Entity
@Table(name = "pin_item")
public class PinItem implements Serializable {
// properties ...
@JoinColumn(name = "board_id", referencedColumnName = "user_board_id")
@ManyToOne(optional = false)
private UserBoard board;
// getters and setters...
}
@Entity
@Table(name = "user_board")
public class UserBoard implements Serializable {
// properties ...
@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "board")
private List<PinItem> pinItemList;
// getters and setters...
}
Service
@Service
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public class BoardServiceImpl implements BoardService {
@Autowired
private UserBoardRepository boardRepository;
@Override
public List<UserBoard> findLatestBoards() {
PageRequest request = new PageRequest(
0, PresentationUtil.PAGE_SIZE,
Sort.Direction.DESC, "boardId"
);
return boardRepository.findAll(request).getContent();
}
// Other Methods
}
Repository
public interface UserBoardRepository extends JpaRepository<UserBoard, Integer> {
}
Now, when I call the findLatestBoards
method in BoardService
, "No Property Found" exception is thrown on the line return boardRepository.findAll(request).getContent();
. Here is the excerpt from tomcat log.

Exception
The exception is "org.springframework.data.mapping.PropertyReferenceException: No property board found for type com.tecnooc.picpin.model.UserBoard
". But, if I understood correctly, the property board
is present in PinItem
and is correctly mapped with mappedBy = "board"
in UserBoard
.

I don't get why this exception is thrown. Any idea why it is happening?
Note: I am using Hibernate as Persistence provider. Also, the code portion I put here is what I thought is relevant to the problem. If it is not, let me know and I will update the question with required portion.
I ran into this same issue and found the solution here: https://dzone.com/articles/persistence-layer-spring-data
I had renamed an entity property. But with Springs Automatic Custom Queries there was an interface defined for the old property name.
public interface IFooDAO extends JpaRepository< Foo, Long >{
Foo findByOldPropName( final String name );
}
The error indicated that it could no longer find "OldPropName" and threw the exception.
To quote the article on DZone:
When Spring Data creates a new Repository implementation, it analyzes all the methods defined by the interfaces and tries to automatically generate queries from the method name. While this has limitations, it is a very powerful and elegant way of defining new custom access methods with very little effort. For example, if the managed entity has a name field (and the Java Bean standard getter and setter for that field), defining the findByName method in the DAO interface will automatically generate the correct query:
public interface IFooDAO extends JpaRepository< Foo, Long >{
Foo findByName( final String name );
}
This is a relatively simple example; a much larger set of keywords is supported by query creation mechanism.
In the case that the parser cannot match the property with the domain object field, the following exception is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No property nam found for type class org.rest.model.Foo
