Long story short, I want to replace the existing controller in spring boot because it is not satisfactory.
Therefore I have created a new rest controller class and have started adding functionality to it. I want to maintain the older controller until I can delete it in the future (once the newer version has been fully implemented)
So I have effectively two classes with the same name.
New Class
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v2/parts")
public class PartController implements PartsApi {
...
Old Class
@RepositoryRestController
public class PartController {
When starting the service the following error occurs:
Annotation-specified bean name 'partController' for bean class [controller.v2.PartController] conflicts with existing, non-compatible bean definition of same name and class [controller.PartController]
I tried using the @Qualifier annotation but that does not compile.
How can I have two Rest classes with the same name in the spring boot app?
Note: I am loathe to try renaming PartController2
I had faced similar issue once and it got resolved after passing explicit name in @RestController annotation, which by default takes Class name at time of autowiring. Try this :
V2 version:
@RestController("PartControllerV2")
@RequestMapping("/api/v2/parts")
public class PartController implements PartsApi {
V1 version:
@RepositoryRestController("PartControllerV1")
public class PartController {
