javaspringspring-bootguava

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.cache.guava.GuavaCache

Context -

I have a spring boot app and I updated the spring-boot-starter-parent version from 1.5.12.RELEASE to 2.4.0

I had this dependency in my pom -

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
    <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
    <version>30.1-android</version>
</dependency>

Now when I am running my app, I am getting this error -

    org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'cachesEndpoint' defined in class path resource ...

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'guavaCacheManager' defined in class path resource...

Solution

  • I resolved this by completely removing guava dependency and its references from my project.

    If you still need to use caching then try using Caffeine.
