java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException

When ‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web’ dependency is only added and

run the following code:

@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ComponentScan
public class Application {

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

}

Got the following exception:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException

I think there’s no reason to get the above exception.

Well, maybe you should have 😃

Here’s the exception you have in the logs

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not evaluate condition owing to internal class not found. This can happen if you are @ComponentScanning a springframework package (e.g. if you put a @ComponentScan in the default package by mistake)

As I told you on stackoverflow already, you probably have one class in the default package that has component scan (defaut package = no package statement in the class). If that’s not the case, please create a separate issue with a sample project that reproduces the problem.
