NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'javax.servlet.Filter' available

[paoloaq]

The following example works with the spring-boot-starter-parent 1.4.1. However, with the spring-boot-starter-parent 1.4.2, the exception NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'javax.servlet.Filter' occurs.

Boot Application class:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableEurekaServer
public class EurekaServerApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(EurekaServerApplication.class, args);
    }
}

application.yml:

server:
  port: 8761
spring:
  application:
    name: eureka-server1
eureka:
  client:
    registerWithEureka: false
    fetch-registry: false
    serviceUrl:
      defaultZone: http://localhost:8761/eureka/

Description:

Parameter 0 of method traceFilterRegistration in org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.server.EurekaServerConfiguration required a bean of type 'javax.servlet.Filter' that could not be found.
    - Bean method 'resourceUrlEncodingFilter' in 'FreeMarkerAutoConfiguration.FreeMarkerWebConfiguration' not loaded because @ConditionalOnEnabledResourceChain did not find class org.webjars.WebJarAssetLocator

Action:

Consider revisiting the conditions above or defining a bean of type 'javax.servlet.Filter' in your configuration.

I am not able to reproduce this. I copied your pom and application properties exactly. I did notice you do not have spring-boot-starter-web as a dependency, usually you would want that included as well. If you can post a zip of the failing application or put the code on github I can try and use that to reproduce the problem.

[paoloaq]

The spring-boot-starter-web, 1.4.2.RELEASE, is resolved in the effective pom. Anyway, adding the spring-boot-starter-web to the pom file, does not change the situation.

Here is the code: eureka-server_issue-1491

[ryanjbaxter]

It must be something in your environment because the app starts fine for me.

[paoloaq]

This is my environment:

• MacOS Sierra 10.12.1
• Spring Tool Suite - Version: 3.8.2.RELEASE (Build Id: 201610040743 - Platform: Eclipse Neon.1 (4.6.1))
• java version "1.8.0_65" - Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17) - Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode)

I also tried to run it from the command line:

mvn spring-boot: run

The error is the same as in the IDE: NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'javax.servlet.Filter' available.

However, another strange thing is the result of these commands from terminal:

mvn install
java -jar target/EurekaServer-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Thanks for your help!

[spencergibb]

Bad jar? try cleaning your maven repo.

[paoloaq]

@spencergibb thank you so much !!! rm -r $HOME/.m2 has completely solved my issue! Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you again! :)

[kuldeepkrsharma029]

I also faced the same problem, and yes rm -r $HOME/.m2 worked for me also. Thanks a lot guys.

[elninojk]

Tried with deleting only the repo, still not working. After deleting m2 folder itself , started working. Bit strange though ???

[AprilGH]

@kuldeepkrsharma029 I am a beginner. How do I do this rm -r $ HOME / .m2

[AprilGH]

@kuldeepkrsharma029 Where to execute?
