Spring-boot Error starting ApplicationContext and Application startup failed

I recently start to develop a web application with spring-boot, for recommendation for StackOverflow dataset but i am gettig errors.

What am I possibly doing wrong? I checked out this code from:
http://kielczewski.eu/2014/12/spring-boot-security-application/
The only thing I changed was the name of the app to sampleapp along with some packages (namespaces)...
His code works but I wonder why mine doesn't?
EDITED ( for David Hernandez's question):
David, thanks for commenting, I am not sure if I understand your question because the SecurityConfig file uses the org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService from Spring... In the code that I copied, there is a CurrentUserDetailsService that implements UserDetailService from Spring. If this was your question, here's the code:
package com.sampleapp.service.currentuser;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UsernameNotFoundException;
import com.sampleapp.domain.CurrentUser;
import com.sampleapp.domain.User;
import com.sampleapp.service.user.UserService;
public class CurrentUserDetailsService implements UserDetailsService {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CurrentUserDetailsService.class);
private final UserService userService;
#Autowired
public CurrentUserDetailsService(UserService userService) {
this.userService = userService;
}
#Override
public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String email) throws UsernameNotFoundException {
LOG.debug("Authenticating user with email={}", email.replaceFirst("#.*", "#***"));
User user = userService.getUserByEmail(email)
.orElseThrow(() -> new UsernameNotFoundException(String.format("User with email=%s was not found", email)));
return new CurrentUser(user);
}
}
Happy programming!

You need to be sure that you Application.java is in the root of the project
If you refactored the packages
you should have something like that
com
-sampleapp
--other packages
Application.java
By default spring boot use #ComponentScan and scan at the root of the project
If you have something outside your com.sampleapp the #ComponeScan won't be able to see it
You can add your #ComponentScan with your base packages
Ex.
#ComponentScan( basePackages = {"package containing UserDetailsService", "packages containing your app"} )
In your case the ComponentScan is not finding the components so I think it is scanning in the wrong place

Got it working... I was missing #Service for my Service classes.

Why is this Spring test trying to autowire beans it should not be able to see?

Here's my project structure:
Here's my SubjectTest:
package com.sandbox.autowireintest;
import com.sandbox.autowireintest.configuration.TestConfig;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = {TestConfig.class})
public class SubjectTest {
#Autowired
Subject subject;
#Test
public void testName() throws Exception {
}
}
Here's the TestConfig:
package com.sandbox.autowireintest.configuration;
import com.sandbox.autowireintest.AutowireInTest;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
#Configuration
public class TestConfig {
#Bean
public AutowireInTest autowireInTest() {
return mock(AutowireInTest.class);
}
}
This test fails on startup with this error:

I don't understand why I'm getting this error. Subject autowires AutowireInTest. AutowireInTest autowires IgnoreInTest, but I'm assuming the TestConfig should overwrite AutowireInTest and replace it with a mock that does not have the autowire to IgnoreInTest. So why does this test still start with this error?
My goal is to avoid using a real AutowireInTest in my test and context, but I do have other autowired classes in my Subject (not in this code, but in my real code I'm trying to test) that I do want to autowire. How do I achieve this?
If anything, I would expect this test to fail saying it can't find Subject. My TestConfig only has a #Bean for AutowireInTest, so how does my test know how to autowire Subject? I haven't told it to scan anything.

A mock object is an instance of a dynamically created class that extends the class being mocked. The class being mocked has fields annotated with #Autowired. So Spring is supposed to autowire these fields. But it can't because the beans to autowire don't exist, hence the exception.
There is no reason to load a Spring context to implement a unit test. Just use Mockito without Spring:
#InjectMocks
private Subject subject;
#Mock
private AutowireInTest mockAutowizeInTest;
#Before
public void prepare() {
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
}
Iy fou used constructor injection, the problem you're facing would become obvious, because the dependencies wouldbe explicit, and you wouldn't need the annotation support of Mockito:
AutowireInTest mockAutowireInTest = mock(AutowireInTest.class);
Subject subject = new Subject(mockAutowireInTest);
Regarding your second question: the est would fail later if it went until there. But it can't go until there because it can't even create the beans referenced in the context.

Spring Application Context Loading Manually With Autowire

I am working on a simple Spring Maven java console application and hence I am loading my application context manually. The Autowire annotations are not working for me
I have listed the java code below
Main.java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
ApplicationContext applicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
System.out.println("ctx>>"+applicationContext);
GreeterService greeterService = applicationContext.getBean(GreeterServiceImpl.class);
System.out.println(greeterService);
System.out.println(greeterService .greetGuest("John Doe"));
}
}
GreeterServiceImpl
#Component
public class GreeterServiceImpl implements GreeterService {
#Autowired
Sample service;
#Override
public String greetGuest(String greeter) {
if (greeter == null) {
return "Looged in as Guest";
}
return "Hello " + greeter + " How are you?";
}
}
Sample.impl is just a empty implementation to test the POC
Sample.java
public interface Sample {
}
SampleImpl.java
#Component
public class SampleImpl {
}

Is my ApplicationContext not available to the GreeterService class , if so why is that ?

The error msg itself saying everything about the issue. You are trying to autowire Sample in GreeterServiceImpl class while you declare SampleImpl as another component. To correct do either one of following:-
Change Sample to SampleImpl
OR
Change public class SampleImpl to public class SampleImpl implements Sample and create a interface called Sample
OR
Change public class SampleImpl to public class Sample

Your Sample Class should be
package com.springconsole;
#Component
public class Sample{
...
...
}

Spring: can't load properties on junit with PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

Note: I've added the projects described above in a drop file service for easy reproduction and browsing -> http://dropcanvas.com/ujzw5
Only available for 3 days though.
Problem:
I have a program that works, called SomeBean. Running it I get the expected results and Spring wiring.
I'd like to make a separate test project which has a test class with Junit: acme-package2, to test my wiring on acme-package1. This works fine if SomeBean is injected with other beans, but not with properties from PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.
My Question: I would like to know how to make SomeBeanWireTest from acme-package2 work.
I don't want to change acme-package1's SomeBean class, and I do want to continue using the springcontext.xml with classpath location on the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer if possible.
Since my test is to verify the wiring of acme-package1, I don't want to have a different springcontext.xml on the test project because it defeats the purpose of testing the wiring of the original project.
My hope is that there is something I can do on SomeBeanWireTest that will test SomeBean's wiring without having to change SomeBean's code. Here's the code of the project:
SomeBean:
package com.acme.package1;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

#Autowired
private String injectedString;
public void setInjectedString(String injectedString) {
this.injectedString = injectedString;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ConfigurableApplicationContext springContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(CLASSPATH_METAINF_PREFIX + "springcontext.xml");
SomeBean testBean = springContext.getBean(SomeBean.class);
testBean.printInjectedString();
springContext.close();
}
private void printInjectedString() {
System.out.println("Injected String: " + injectedString);
}
}

Since springcontext.xml is explicitly setting the injectedString property, there's no reason to annotate the field with #Autowired. I'm not sure why it works in one context but not the other. Could be a difference in the behavior of ClassPathXmlApplicationContext (used in the main method) and GenericApplicationContext (used by the test class).
In any event, removing #Autowired will fix it. Another option would be annotating injectedString with #Value("${acme.injectedString}") and removing the <property name="injectedString" value="${acme.injectedString}" /> line from springcontext.xml.
