ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized - call 'refresh' before multicasting events

Question

I am trying to implement ehcache for my application but when try invoking the server, getting the following error -

java.lang.IllegalStateException         


        

Answer 1

This is kinda stupid but my problem was that I had placed the @SpringBootApplication class (namely App, Application, WebApplication in most projects) inside the default package. Hence, everything was in total disarray.

I'm not sure why this exact error showed up, but moving the application class to a package sure fixed it.
