ObjectDB with Spring Boot

I want to configure a Spring Boot application to use ObjectDB persistence instead of the default Hibernate, but I' unable to do so. Since ObjectDB already is a JPA provider I need to exclude any auto configuration involving a DataSource, JDBC or Hibernate.

So far I have the following in Application.java:

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class})
@ComponentScan
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    @Primary
    public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory() {
        return Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("test.odb");
    }
}

And build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-oauth2')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa') {
        exclude module: 'hibernate-entitymanager' //by artifact name
    }
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat')
    compile('com.objectdb:objectdb:2.6.5')
    compile('org.eclipse.persistence:javax.persistence:2.1.0')
}

However this fails when starting the application with the following exception extract:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSourcePublicMetrics': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceAutoConfiguration$NonEmbeddedConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [javax.sql.DataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE.

It seems that Spring Boot tries to create a "PublicMetrics" bean which has information about datasources, then fails to create a DataSource because ObjectDB is a object oriented database, not a SQL one, so it doesn't provide any DataSource.

How can I disable PublicMetrics altogether?

I already tried http://www.objectdb.com/database/forum/860 with no success, and if I exclude "spring-boot-starter-jdbc" from the dependencies, then my Spring Data repositories are not instantiated for some reason.

Solution

  • Nevermind, I found that I just needed to exclude jdbc dependencies and explicitly add the @EnableJpaRepositories annotation to get the repositories working.

    Here is the working configuration:

    Application.java

    @SpringBootApplication
@EnableJpaRepositories // Needed when using objectdb
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

    // Needed when using objectdb
    @Bean
    public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory() {
        return Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("test.odb");
    }

    // Needed when using objectdb
    @Bean(name = "transactionManager")
    public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager() {
        return new JpaTransactionManager(entityManagerFactory());
    }
}

    build.gradle:

    dependencies {
    compile('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-oauth2')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat')

    // Needed to exclude these when using objectdb
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa') {
        exclude module: 'spring-boot-starter-jdbc' //by artifact name
        exclude module: 'hibernate-entitymanager' //by artifact name
    }
    compile('com.objectdb:objectdb:2.6.5')
    compile('org.eclipse.persistence:javax.persistence:2.1.0')
}
