Error setting up eureka server in spring boot

Question

Following along a tutorial that sets up a eureka server. I follow all the steps but go to run it when it should work and it crashes with this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.server.EurekaServerInitializerConfiguration': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'eurekaServerBootstrap'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'eurekaServerBootstrap' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/netflix/eureka/server/EurekaServerAutoConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'eurekaServerBootstrap' parameter 1; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'eurekaServerContext': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot Create new Replica Node :JerseyReplicationClient: http://localhost:8010/eureka/apps/:

Process finished with exit code 1

I looked up possible solutions including purging maven cache and this did not work.

Here are my dependencies in my pom.xml:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Main class:

package com.photoapp.photoappdiscoveryservice;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.server.EnableEurekaServer;

@EnableEurekaServer
@SpringBootApplication
public class PhotoappdiscoveryserviceApplication {

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

application.properties:

server.port=8010

spring.application.name=discoveryservice

eureka.client.registerWithEureka=false
eureka.client.fetchRegistry=false
eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone=http://localhost:8010/eureka

Upon researching the only reason I can see is it may have been a error dependency, any help to figure this out would be great thanks!

Answer 1

I am also following the same tutorial as you. I also faced the same issue with Eureka. There are 3 ways to solve it.

1. Use Mainong's solution by adding eureka.instance.hostname=localhost in application.properties.
2. & 3) In the same tutorial there is a part on troubleshooting this issue.

You can either add the following dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sun.jersey.contribs</groupId>
  <artifactId>jersey-apache-client4</artifactId>
  <version>1.19.4</version>
</dependency>

or remove eureka-client dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
</dependency>

Answer 2

The best way I have found around this so far is to create an application.yml file and add the properties this way:

application.yml:

info:
  component: DiscoveryService

server:
  port: ${port:8010}


eureka:
  client:
    registerWithEureka: false
    fetchRegistry: false
  server:
    enable-self-preservation: false
    waitTimeInMsWhenSyncEmpty: 0
  instance:
    hostname: localhost
    lease-expiration-duration-in-seconds: 15
    lease-renewal-interval-in-seconds: 5

I am not sure what the error is or how to solve it any other way than this

edit: I have finally found the solution it is getting rid of the client dependency in the pom.xml. For some reason you cannot have both in the project or you get the bean error.
