Spring Data Rest PagingAndSortingRepository AbstractMethodError (RepositoryFactorySupport)

Question

I'm trying to buil an Rest Api using Spring Data Rest, after to change my pom.xml many times to find the compatible dependencies to my project, I have this problem now:

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.springframework.data.repository.core.support.RepositoryFactorySupport.getTargetRepository(Lorg/springframework/data/repository/core/RepositoryInformation;)Ljava/lang/Object;

Once upon a time ...

I have a Java Config Web App, my JPAConfig has these annotations

@Configuration
//@EnableJpaRepositories("com.protect.inf.jpa.repositories")
@EnableJpaRepositories
@EnableTransactionManagement
public class JPAConfig { ... }

See the @EnableJpaRepositories annotation, if i don´t set the package name where are my Repositories class, the application starts fine, but when I make the request to the api, the response looks like this:

{
_links: {
    profile: {
        href: "http://localhost:8080/protect-inf-01/api/profile"
        }-
    }-
}

It doesn´t expose my Repos url. My Repos classes looks like this

@RestResource(path = "users", rel = "users")
public interface UsuariosRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<Usuarios, Integer>{
    Usuarios findByEmail(String email);
}

Then ...

When I set the package name to the @EnableRepositories annotation @EnableJpaRepositories("com.protect.inf.jpa.repositories") the applications start fails with this error:

Error creating bean with name 'cuentasRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.springframework.data.repository.core.support.RepositoryFactorySupport.getTargetRepository(Lorg/springframework/data/repository/core/RepositoryInformation;)Ljava/lang/Object;

I think that is a dependencies problem in my Maven, i'm not really sure. Here is my pom.xm

        return new Class<?>[]{JPAConfig.class};
    }

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
        return new Class[]{WebConfiguration.class};
    }

    @Override
    protected String[] getServletMappings() {
        return new String[]{"/"};
    }

}

This is my WebConfiguration class

package com.protect.inf.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.data.rest.core.config.RepositoryRestConfiguration;
import org.springframework.data.rest.webmvc.config.RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration;

@Configuration
public class WebConfiguration extends RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration{
    @Override
      public RepositoryRestConfiguration config() {
        RepositoryRestConfiguration config = super.config();
        config.setBasePath("/api");
        return config;
      }
}

Any help is welcome, thanks!

SOLVED Deleting the spring-data-commons and changing the spring-data-jpa version to 1.9.0.RELEASE like @peeskillet said now works fine!

Comment the spring-data-commons dependency

<!--        <dependency> -->
<!--            <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId> -->
<!--            <artifactId>spring-data-commons</artifactId> -->
<!--            <version>1.11.0.RC1</version> -->
<!--        </dependency> -->

Change the spring-data-jpa version

<!--        <dependency> -->
<!--            <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId> -->
<!--            <artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId> -->
<!--            <version>1.8.2.RELEASE</version> -->
<!--        </dependency> -->

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId>
        <version>1.9.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

Thanks peeskillet!

Answer 1

Get rid of spring-data-commons and change spring-data-jpa version to 1.9.0.RELEASE.

Both spring-data-rest-webmvc and spring-data-jpa already depend on spring-data-commons. But you need to make sure that they both depend on the same version. s-d-rest-webmvc-2.4.0 depends on s-d-commons-1.11.0 while s-d-jpa-1.8.2 depends on s-d-commons-1.10.2. And that's the difference. s-d-jpa-1.9.0 depends on s-d-commons-1.11.0.
