How to use spring roo to manage multiple DB?

Question

I am working on a project using spring roo and it needs to manage multiple DB. So I set up multiple data sources and entity manager factories. And when I run the project, I always get the following error:

All the domain object, repository and service classes are generated by roo.

Is there anyone who can help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If you carefully read this very long error message then you can understand root of problem:

• Spring Security tries to initiate filterChainProxy
• initiation process fails because it cannot load platformServiceDistributorFilter
• platformServiceDistributorFilter cannot be created because Spring cannot autowire field of type ApplicationCatalogueService
• ApplicationCatalogueService cannot be autowired because Spring cannot creates applicationCatalogueServiceImpl
• applicationCatalogueServiceImpl cannot be created because could not autowire ApplicationCatalogueRepository
• And finally, Spring cannot create ApplicationCatalogueRepository because when it tries to autowire field with type javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory it found 5 different beans with this type in application context

Did you try to explicitly specify which of EntityManagerFactory you want to autowire to ApplicationCatalogueRepository? (Probably by adding @PersistenceUnit annotation with appropriate persistence unit name.)
