hibernate - How to enable classpath scanning for @Entity classes in Spring boot -

all attempts @ classpath scanning of @entity classes failed in spring boot application. common solution found on web , didn't work -

localcontainerentitymanagerfactorybean factory = new localcontainerentitymanagerfactorybean(); factory.setjpavendoradapter(vendoradapter); factory.setpackagestoscan("com.acme.domain"); 

@entityscan on @configuration class did not work either.

all entities , mappings listed in orm.xml , had move using @entity annotations.

one solution got me half way there -

<persistence-unit>     <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.hibernatepersistence</provider>     <mapping-file>meta-inf/orm.xml</mapping-file>     <class>com.acme.domain.entity</class>     <shared-cache-mode>none</shared-cache-mode> </persistence-unit> 

this way use @entity annotations if listed entity classes in persistence.xml.

the solution didn't find while searching, listed on spring data jpa web page -

classpathscanningpersistenceunitpostprocessor postprocessor = new classpathscanningpersistenceunitpostprocessor("com.acme.domain"); entitymanagerfactory.setpersistenceunitpostprocessors(postprocessor); 

now classpath scanning of @entity classes enabled. no mappings in orm.xml , no listing of entities in persistence.xml.
