Can't autowire Neo4jTemplate - no qualifying bean found

Question

I'm pretty new to Spring & even newer to Spring Data and I'm hoping somebody can tell me where I'm going wrong, I'm sure it's something pretty stupid but just can't seem to figure it out.

What I'm trying to do is run a very simple Spring Boot application that then uses Neo4jTemplate to populate the database but I keep getting the error below

The version of Neo4j I have installed is 2.1.6, I'm wondering if this is a version compatibility issue but can't seem to find what versions of Spring Data are compatibile with which versions of Neo4j.

Error

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!! I've tried looking at question "Could not autowire. No beans of Neo4jTemplate type found" but unfortunately didn't solve my issue.

Are you sure that locations = "classpath:applicationContext.xml" points to your xml correctly? Try to remove the neo4j template and create some dummy bean in hello package to see if that autowires.. — František Hartman, Feb 17 '15 at 10:26
@user3250562 Did you ever come to a resolution to this issue? I've hit the same issue as well, and am looking for the same answer! Thanks! — Coder Shark, Apr 09 '15 at 11:23
In the end I moved away totally from using XML and instead used a Neo4jConfigurationNeo4jConfiguration class pretty much like the example here: http://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-neo4j/ — user3250562, Apr 14 '15 at 13:03

In the end I moved to something more like the example here: http://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-neo4j/ extending Neo4jConfiguration which proved a lot easier overall.

When creating the bean to connect to the remote URL I used:

@Bean(destroyMethod="shutdown")
    public GraphDatabaseService graphDatabaseService(@Value("${neo4j.database.location}") String dbUrl) {
    logger.info("Connecting to database at {}",dbUrl);
    return new SpringCypherRestGraphDatabase(dbUrl);
}

The example above has the location as a parameter which I also found useful

Can't autowire Neo4jTemplate - no qualifying bean found
