Spring boot - Not a managed type

Question

I use Spring boot+JPA and having a problem while starting the service.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not an managed type: class com.nervytech.dialer.domain.PhoneSettings

Here is the Application.java file,

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = { DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class })
@SpringBootApplication
public class DialerApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DialerApplication.class, args);
    }
}

I use UCp for connection pooling and the DataSource configuration is below,

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableJpaRepositories(entityManagerFactoryRef = "dialerEntityManagerFactory", transactionManagerRef = "dialerTransactionManager", basePackages = { "com.nervy.dialer.spring.jpa.repository" })
public class ApplicationDataSource {

    /** The Constant LOGGER. */
    private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory
            .getLogger(ApplicationDataSource.class);

    /** The Constant TEST_SQL. */
    private static final String TEST_SQL = "select 1 from dual";

    /** The pooled data source. */
    private PoolDataSource pooledDataSource;

UserDetailsService Implementation,

@Service("userDetailsService")
@SessionAttributes("user")
public class UserDetailsServiceImpl implements UserDetailsService {

    @Autowired
    private UserService userService;

Service layer implementation,

@Service
public class PhoneSettingsServiceImpl implements PhoneSettingsService {

}

The repository class,

@Repository
public interface PhoneSettingsRepository extends JpaRepository<PhoneSettings, Long> {

}

Entity class,

@Entity
@Table(name = "phone_settings", catalog = "dialer")
public class PhoneSettings implements java.io.Serializable {

WebSecurityConfig class,

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
@ComponentScan
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private UserDetailsServiceImpl userDetailsService;

    /**
     * Instantiates a new web security config.
     */
    public WebSecurityConfig() {

        super();
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     * @see org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter#configure(org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity)
     */
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {

        http.authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/login", "/logoffUser", "/sessionExpired", "/error", "/unauth", "/redirect", "*support*").permitAll()
            .anyRequest().authenticated().and().rememberMe().and().httpBasic()
            .and()
            .csrf()
            .disable().logout().deleteCookies("JSESSIONID").logoutSuccessUrl("/logoff").invalidateHttpSession(true);
    }


    @Autowired
    public void configAuthentication(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {

      auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(new BCryptPasswordEncoder());
    }

}

The packages are as follows,

1. Application class is in - com.nervy.dialer
2. Datasource class is in - com.nervy.dialer.common
3. Entity classes are in - com.nervy.dialer.domain
4. Service classes are in - com.nervy.dialer.domain.service.impl
5. Controllers are in - com.nervy.dialer.spring.controller
6. Repository classes are in - com.nervy.dialer.spring.jpa.repository
7. WebSecurityConfig is in - com.nervy.dialer.spring.security

Thanks

Configure the location of entities using @EntityScan in Spring Boot entry point class.

Update on Sept 2016: For Spring Boot 1.4+:
use org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.domain.EntityScan
instead of org.springframework.boot.orm.jpa.EntityScan, as ...boot.orm.jpa.EntityScan is deprecated as of Spring Boot 1.4
