Invalid value type for attribute 'factoryBeanObjectType': java.lang.String

[hantsy]

I updated my Spring 6.0/Java 17 cache example to the latest Spring 6.1 M5 and Java 21, but when running the tests it throws exception like this.

The example project: https://github.com/hantsy/spring6-sandbox/tree/master/cache

And the testing codes: https://github.com/hantsy/spring6-sandbox/blob/master/cache/src/test/java/com/example/demo/domain/PostRepositoryTest.java

factoryBeanObjectType should either be a Class or a ResolvableType. This has been the case since day one but the core container ignored the property if it wasn't any of those types. It now throws an exception so this is the expected behavior.

(That sample needs to upgrade the Spring Data version).

I encountered the same issue when attempting to perform a native build using the following configurations:

Spring Boot version:
3.2.0-M3

Java version:
openjdk 21 2023-09-19 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Liberica-NIK-23.1.0-1 (build 21+37-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Liberica-NIK-23.1.0-1 (build 21+37-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

Maven version:
Maven 3.9.5

The error message I received was:

@Anas-ZAHOURI it's impossible for us to know which component set a String factoryBeanObjectType on a bean definition. This can't be only Spring Boot as we've fixed those a while ago. If you manage to reproduce with only Spring-libraries, then create an issue at the appropriate place.

[A-caibird]

I have solved this issue, you use lower version springboot(3.15,3.14) can solve that.

[kistlers]

I just ran into this issue and I found a fix (at least for my case).
Eventually, while trying to find the issue, I got the log message that Spring Cloud 2022.0.XX is not compatible with Spring Boot 3.2.XX.

I upgraded Spring Cloud to 2023.0.0-RC1 (available since 02.11.2023, see https://spring.io/blog/2023/11/02/spring-cloud-2023-0-0-rc1-aka-leyton-is-now-available) and my issue was fixed.

I hope that helps someone.

These are my dependencies, and they were upgraded to their latest versions, and now I get an error

I didn't do anything, just upgraded the dependency version

Fortunately, version 3.1.6 does not have the following problems

Thanks @kistlers , I ran into the same issue. This does the trick.
