java - ClassCastException: org.springframework.orm.jpa.EntityManagerHolder cannot be cast to org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.SessionHolder

Question

I try to create simple user login and registration page. But I cannot create user using services method. I have a service for creating new user.

@Service
public class LocalUserDetailsService implements UserService {

//...

@Transactional
@Override
public User registerNewUserAccount(UserDto userDto) throws EmailExistsException {
    System.out.println("registerNewUserAccount called");
    if (emailExist(userDto.getEmail())) {
        throw new EmailExistsException(
                "There is an account with that email adress: "
                + userDto.getEmail());
    }

    return createUser(userDto);
}

private User createUser(UserDto userDto) {
    User user = new User();
    user.setEmail(userDto.getEmail());
    user.setPassword(passwordEncoder.encode(userDto.getPassword()));
    user.setEnabled(userDto.isEnabled());
    Set<Role> roles = new LinkedHashSet<>();

    userDto.getRoles().forEach((roleDto) -> {
        roles.add(roleDao.getOrInsert(roleDto.getName()));
    });

    user.setRoles(roles);

    return userDao.insert(user);
}
}

I call registerNewUserAccount(UserDto userDto) method at 2 places. 1) At startup, I call this method for creating initial users.

@Component

public class DatabaseFillerOnStartup implements ApplicationListener {

@Autowired
private UserService userService;

@Override
public void onApplicationEvent(ContextRefreshedEvent event) {
    System.out.println("DatabaseFillerOnStartup ###################");
    createInitialUsers();
}

private void createInitialUsers() {
    try {
        UserDto user = new UserDto();
        user.setEmail("[email protected]");
        user.setPassword("123456");
        user.setEnabled(true);
        List<RoleDto> roles = new ArrayList<>();
        roles.add(new RoleDto(Roles.ADMIN));
        roles.add(new RoleDto(Roles.USER));
        user.setRoles(roles);
        userService.registerNewUserAccount(user);
    } catch (EmailExistsException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(DatabaseFillerOnStartup.class.getName())
                .log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
}

Then all works normally. But when I call this method from controller for creating new user using registration form, registerNewUserAccount(UserDto userDto) method does not work. I call it from controller like following:

@Controller
public class UserController {

@Autowired
private UserService userService;

@RequestMapping(value = "/user/registration", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView registerUserAccount(
        @ModelAttribute("userDto") @Valid UserDto userDto,
        BindingResult result, WebRequest request, Errors errors) {
    User registered = new User();
    if (!result.hasErrors()) {
        registered = createUserAccount(userDto, result);
    }
    if (registered == null) {
        result.rejectValue("email", "message.regError");
    }
    if (result.hasErrors()) {
        return new ModelAndView("registration", "user", userDto);
    } else {
        return new ModelAndView("successRegister", "user", userDto);
    }
}

private User createUserAccount(UserDto userDto, BindingResult result) {
    User registered;
    try {
        userService.test();//Just for testing if service class Autowired correctly.
        registered = userService.registerNewUserAccount(userDto);
    } catch (EmailExistsException e) {
        return null;
    }
    return registered;
}
}

I debugged it. The command userService.test(); passed, but at registerNewUserAccount(UserDto userDto) command thrown the following exception

Answer 1

I added exclude = HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class property to @SpringBootApplication annotation as recomended at https://stackoverflow.com/a/38637273 and all worked normally. But I cannot relatrion problem and solution. And I don't not know why registerNewUserAccount(UserDto userDto) method works at one place and doesn't work at different place.
