Field jdbcTemplate required a bean of type 'org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate' that could not be found

Question

I made this simple application to connect to the MySQL database and I'm getting this error:

org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate

In my configuration (com.kubamadry.dao.MySqlStudentDao):

*****************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START

Description:

Field jdbcTemplate in com.kubamadry.dao.MySqlStudentDao required a bean of type 'org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate' that could not be found.


Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate' in your configuration.

Please help me with this problem.

Answer 1

You need to declare JdbcTemplate bean in any @Configuration class, for example:

@Bean
public JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate(DataSource dataSource) {
    return new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
}

Also, consider using spring-boot-starter-jdbc instead of spring-jdbc dependency. Starter module contains most of the libraries you'll need in the future.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jdbc</artifactId>
</dependency>
