Spring Boot ConflictingBeanDefinitionException: Annotation-specified bean name for @Controller class

Question

I keep getting the ConflictingBeanDefinitionException error in my Spring boot application. I am not entirely sure as to how to address it, I have several @Con

Answer 1

The solution, as I found out, is to disable double initialization by including a filter in the component scan. In my case:

@EnableScheduling
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
@EnableCaching
@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "org.kemri.wellcome.hie" }, 
    excludeFilters = {@Filter(value = Controller.class, type = FilterType.ANNOTATION)})
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

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