Error creating bean with name 'client'

zegdene · April 17, 2017, 9:04am

I was trying to integrate elastic search onto spring-boot application but I got this *Error
creating bean with name 'client' *Exception, not sure what is going wrong
as I could not find any similar trails before...
Thanks so much for guiding folks.
This is mu elasticsearch configuration:

import org.elasticsearch.client.Client;
import org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClient;
import org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Settings;
import org.elasticsearch.common.transport.InetSocketTransportAddress;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.ElasticsearchOperations;
import org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.ElasticsearchTemplate;
import org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.repository.config.EnableElasticsearchRepositories;
import org.elasticsearch.transport.client.PreBuiltTransportClient;

import java.net.InetAddress;

@Configuration
@EnableElasticsearchRepositories(basePackages = "com.backend.project.repositories")
public class EsConfig {


@Bean
public Client client() throws Exception{
    TransportClient client = new PreBuiltTransportClient(Settings.EMPTY)
    .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName("elasticsearch.host"), 9200));    
    return client;
}

@Bean
public ElasticsearchOperations elasticsearchTemplate() throws Exception {
    return new ElasticsearchTemplate(client());
}}

This is my main application:

import org.elasticsearch.client.Client;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
import org.springframework.data.domain.PageRequest;
import org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.ElasticsearchOperations;

import com.backend.project.models.Book;
import com.backend.project.services.BookService;

import java.util.Map;
@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.backend.project" })
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@SpringBootApplication

public class WebApplication implements CommandLineRunner {

@Autowired
private ElasticsearchOperations es;

@Autowired
private BookService bookService;

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

@Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {

    printElasticSearchInfo();

    bookService.save(new Book("1001", "Elasticsearch Basics", "Rambabu Posa", "23-FEB-2017"));
    bookService.save(new Book("1002", "Apache Lucene Basics", "Rambabu Posa", "13-MAR-2017"));
    bookService.save(new Book("1003", "Apache Solr Basics", "Rambabu Posa", "21-MAR-2017"));

    //fuzzey search
    Page<Book> books = bookService.findByAuthor("Rambabu", new PageRequest(0, 10));

    //List<Book> books = bookService.findByTitle("Elasticsearch Basics");

    books.forEach(x -> System.out.println(x));


}

//useful for debug, print elastic search details
private void printElasticSearchInfo() {

    System.out.println("--ElasticSearch--");
    Client client = es.getClient();
    Map<String, String> asMap = client.settings().getAsMap();

    asMap.forEach((k, v) -> {
        System.out.println(k + " = " + v);
    });
    System.out.println("--ElasticSearch--");
}}

What is the exception you're getting? That should tell more about what's right/wrong here.

I've had this working quite recently, can' t immediately spot what's wrong though.

With the (full) exception trace, i might be able to help.

I think this line is the clue:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/elasticsearch/plugins/NetworkPlugin

There is an issue with dependencies (versions)

From here (ClassNotFoundException: org.elasticsearch.plugins.ActionPlugin · Issue #21172 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub) the suggested solution is adding something to your pom.xml properties section.

<elasticsearch.version>5.3.0</elasticsearch.version>

An alternative i found here ( spring - Elasticsearch TransportClient NetworkPlugin NoClassDefFoundError - Stack Overflow ) is putting the main elastic artifact in your pom.xml

Hi Eike,
i add the elasticsearch dependency but he return this error :

Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
The type org.elasticsearch.search.suggest.SuggestBuilder$SuggestionBuilder cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files	EsConfig.java	/backend-project/src/main/java/com/backend/project/config	line 1	Java Problem

EikeD · April 17, 2017, 9:10pm

Interestingly, some googling shows spring only supports elastic 2.x, not the newer 5.x versions:

Sorry i didn't know this before Apparently i've used an older version then?

zegdene · April 18, 2017, 1:42pm

Thank you Eike I have the same problem
