The bean could not be injected as a 'Type' because it is a JDK dynamic proxy that implements: reactor.fn.Consumer

Question

My Spring 4 application, which uses Reactor 2, fails to start with:

*************************** APPLICATION FAILED TO START ***************************  Description:  The bean 'orderHandlerConsumer' could not be injected as a 'fm.data.repository.OrderHandlerConsumer' because it is a JDK dynamic proxy that implements:     reactor.fn.Consumer   Action:  Consider injecting the bean as one of its interfaces or forcing the use of CGLib-based proxies by setting proxyTargetClass=true on @EnableAsync and/or @EnableCaching. 

The OrderHandlerConsumer is really simple:

@Service @Order(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE) public class OrderHandlerConsumer implements Consumer<Event<OrderEnvelope>> {     @Override     public void accept(Event<OrderEnvelope> event) {         event.getData().getLatch().countDown();     } } 

Any ideas what might be going awry?

Answer 1

In your application class file where you define it as Spring application, add underneath it.

@SpringBootApplication @EnableCaching(proxyTargetClass = true)
