spring-data-mongdb dependency on spring-data-commons-core

[smeags]

I've been using spring-data-mongodb 1.0.0.M5, which depends on the nightly spring-data-commons-core build. It looks like the latest spring-data-commons-core build may have broken spring-data-mongodb. When I start up my webapp, my Repository classes now throw the following exception:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'widgetRepository': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.data.repository.util.ClassUtils.getReturnedDomainClass(Ljava/lang/reflect/Method;)Ljava/lang/Class;

I'm using maven to build my app. My only spring-data dependency is:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.0.M5</version>
        </dependency>

This ultimately picks up:

spring-data-commons-core-1.2.0.BUILD-20111127.093221-152.jar
spring-data-mongodb-1.0.0.M5.jar

Anyone else seeing the same behavior?

Upon further inspection of https://github.com/SpringSource/spri...lassUtils.java, it's clear that the method getReturnedDomainClass was removed from ClassUtils.java on Nov 21. Meanwhile, https://github.com/SpringSource/spri...eryMethod.java was updated to reflect this change.

However, the spring-data-mongodb POM for 1.0.0.M5 depends on the snapshot build of spring-data-commons-core. This is the fundamental problem now. The 1.0.0.M5 release should be pointed back at an older, pre-refactor version of commons-core or it will not be usable.

I'm going to look into using snapshot builds of spring-data-mongodb as a workaround for myself.

Looks like this was all caused by an unexpected default setting in my Intellij Maven plug-in. See https://jira.springsource.org/browse/DATAMONGO-327.
