Spring Data JPA Custom Generic Repository Pattern issue

I have the following configuration in Spring but Autowiring fails due to lack of an init method in the Impl class of the repository. Spring shouldn't be attempting to init the bean by a constructor, but it should be using the Factory ... I've missed some simple configuration... or I have ran into a bug. I am trying to achieve a single generic repository where all repositories can share methods and specific ones that are particular to my mapped domain classes... Here is my error: ``` Error creating bean with name 'auditRepositoryImpl' defined in file AuditRepositoryImpl.class]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [com.domain.biz.dao.impl.AuditRepositoryImpl]: No default constructor found; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.domain.biz.dao.impl.AuditRepositoryImpl.<init>() ``` On another side note, it looks like my CustomFactory isn't being picked up. ``` 2014-07-05 08:16:48,343 DEBUG org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryComponentProvider Identified candidate component class: file [InventoryRepository.class] ``` ... ``` 2014-07-05 08:16:48,366 DEBUG org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryBeanDefinitionBuilder Registering custom repository implementation: auditRepositoryImpl AuditRepositoryImpl 2014-07-05 08:16:48,367 DEBUG org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryConfigurationDelegate Registering repository: auditRepository - Interface: AuditRepository - Factory: org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.support.JpaRepositoryFactoryBean //Spring Java config @Configuration @EnableScheduling @EnableSpringConfigured @Import(EnvConfiguration.class) @EnableAspectJAutoProxy @EnableJpaRepositories(repositoryFactoryBeanClass = DefaultRepositoryFactoryBean.class, basePackages = { "com.domain.biz.dao" }, repositoryImplementationPostfix = "Impl") @EnableCaching @EnableTransactionManagement(proxyTargetClass = true) @ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.domain.biz" }) @Order(2) public class AppConfiguration extends CachingConfigurerSupport implements LoadTimeWeavingConfigurer ... @NoRepositoryBean public interface GenericRepository<T extends Serializable, I extends Serializable> extends JpaRepository<T, I> { ... @NoRepositoryBean public abstract class AbstractRepositoryImpl<T extends Serializable, I extends Serializable> extends SimpleJpaRepository<T, I> implements GenericRepository<T, I> { private static Logger log = LoggerFactory .getLogger(AbstractRepositoryImpl.class); private Class<T> clazz; @Autowired EntityManager entityManager; @Autowired SessionFactory sessionFactory; public AbstractRepositoryImpl(Class<T> domainClass, EntityManager em) { super(domainClass, em); } public AbstractRepositoryImpl(JpaEntityInformation<T, ?> entityInformation, EntityManager entityManager) { super(entityInformation, entityManager); } ... @NoRepositoryBean // @Scope( BeanDefinition.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE ) public class GenericRepositoryImpl<T extends Serializable, I extends Serializable> extends AbstractRepositoryImpl<T, I> implements GenericRepository<T, I> { ... public interface AuditRepositoryCustom { public Audit audit(Audit audit); public interface AuditRepository extends GenericRepository<Audit, Long>, AuditRepositoryCustom { public class DefaultRepositoryFactoryBean<R extends JpaRepository<T, I>, T extends Serializable, I extends Serializable> extends JpaRepositoryFactoryBean<R, T, I> { private static class RepositoryFactory<T extends Serializable, I extends Serializable> extends JpaRepositoryFactory { private EntityManager entityManager; public RepositoryFactory(EntityManager entityManager) { super(entityManager); this.entityManager = entityManager; } @Override protected Class<?> getRepositoryBaseClass(RepositoryMetadata metadata) { // The RepositoryMetadata can be safely ignored, it is used by the // JpaRepositoryFactory // to check for QueryDslJpaRepository's which is out of scope. return GenericRepository.class; } @Override protected Object getTargetRepository(RepositoryMetadata metadata) { return new GenericRepositoryImpl<T, I>( (Class<T>) metadata.getDomainType(), this.entityManager); } } @Override protected RepositoryFactorySupport createRepositoryFactory( EntityManager entityManager) { return new RepositoryFactory(entityManager); } ```
