HibernateRepository is not working with Spring Boot 2.7.1

Here is my setup:

1. Spring Boot 2.7.1
2. Hibernate 5.6.9.Final
3. Hibernate Types: hibernate-types-55:2.17.0
4. Java 17

I’m enhancing my regular JPA repository according to the example in the article.

public interface ProductRepository extends JpaRepository<Product, Long>, HibernateRepository<Product> {
}

And here is what I got.

Stacktrace

I think some additional configurations should be applied to use this repository successfully with Spring Boot. If there are ones, they should be described in README.

[vladmihalcea]

@viktorvoltaire But, without adding your application package, it would not have worked even without HibernateRepository. That’s required anyway.

But, I made it more explicit.

[viktorvoltaire]

Done. Thanks for the info.

@vladmihalcea do you mind adding 👇 that one also needs to include its own application to the readme. It should be straight forward, but it took me some time to figure out

        // your application package
        "com.example",
