Actuator health check for SOLR giving Error creating bean with name 'solrClient'

I have a simple Spring boot app and want to include Actuator health check for SOLR but seems to be giving error when running it. Anything else that needs to be added a=or configured.

You connected spring-boot-autoconfigure
It has org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.solr.SolrAutoConfiguration
and this code is trying to use Solr4.
And you connected Solr5 in pom.xml.
In Solr5, org/apache/solr/client/solrj/impl/HttpSolrClient$Builder was removed.
So solutions:
disable SolrAutoConfiguration.
I also didn't know this, and found solution on
How to Disable SolrAutoConfiguration.class in Grails 3.0.2
// Grails 4
#CompileStatic
#EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = [org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.solr.SolrAutoConfiguration.class])
class Application extends GrailsAutoConfiguration {
or update libs

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':bootRun'.
Here are the Hibernate configs in application.yml
environments:
development:
dataSource:
pooled : true
dbCreate: create-drop
driverClassName : com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
username : root
password : password
url: jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/Dev

I hope you did get a solution to this issue, however just in case you had not, this might help someone in future.
So I came across the same error, I had changed no code whatsoever, but the "grails run-app" was behaving as the problem above. First change I made was convert this part of the application.yml
So I came across this problem and initially changed the use_second_level_cache: true part to false:
hibernate:
cache:
queries: false
use_second_level_cache: true
Then I started facing a different issue that were MySQL specific; pertaining to non existent foreign key in hibernate, i had to remove the contentious foreign keys one by one on mysql.

Spring-Boot application startup failed

I have created basic spring-boot application with tomcat container. After building jar using maven, I run it as java -jar mybootapp-1.0.0.jar. Then following error was occurred. Any way I using mvn spring-boot:run command to run the app, Its running nicely. But What is the reason for giving errors with normal jar file run.

You need to make the below changes in pom.xml file if you want to deploy the war in tomcat.
1) In pom.xml file , make scope as provided for embedded server
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-undertow</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
or
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
2) In pom.xml file, make packaging as war
<packaging>war</packaging>

1.4.3.RELEASE currently appears to be missing from the mirrors
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-starter-parent/
only goes to 1.4.2

Since the tomcat server is default container for spring boot application you don't need to specify the tomcat dependencies explicitly. I would recommend and strongly suggest you to use Spring Initializer to kick start with spring boot application.
May i know, why your application class extending from SpringBootServletInitializer? Are you planning to do hot deployment.?

Beginning Spring, "Application failed to start with classpath", "Error starting Tomcat context", and other errors

I've just started doing the Spring tutorial in the documentation (the first one - react-and-spring-data-rest, using a basic Employee class) and have a printout that I'm almost reluctance to paste, due to how large it is.
The project skeleton was generated by the spring-initializer and I'm running in IntelliJ.
Here's that pom.xml file:

It's hard to keep track, so I'll print the first part with an error after the server starts running.

So, I finally figured it out.
The #Id annotation in the tutorial was supposed to be imported from javax.persistence, and, because it was a spring tutorial, I'd carelessly imported it with IntelliJ from org.springframework.data.annotation.Id, so it looked the same, with a different import statement.
Several things I caught in the output: No identifier specified for entity:
Then, after running in debug mode, I somehow came up with a ClassNotFoundException from the main class, which, through SpringApplication.run() calls itself...and could not find...itself.
Ran me around it circles, but I eventually got the careless mistake.

I'm trying to start a new app on Spring Data Neo4J 4. I've having some trouble getting the base configuration working though.
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'repositoryEntityController' defined in URL [jar:file:/home/xenoterracide/.m2/repository/org/springframework/data/spring-data-rest-webmvc/2.4.0.RELEASE/spring-data-rest-webmvc-2.4.0.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/data/rest/webmvc/RepositoryEntityController.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type [org.springframework.data.repository.support.Repositories]: : Error creating bean with name 'repositories' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/data/rest/SpringBootRepositoryRestMvcConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.data.repository.support.Repositories]: Factory method 'repositories' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'characterRepository': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.neo4j.ogm.session.Session org.springframework.data.neo4j.repository.support.GraphRepositoryFactoryBean.session; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.neo4j.ogm.session.Session] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

I do not currently have a configuration for Neo4j so this is probably part of the problem though I've had issues with data commons versions and other things.
I don't have a configuration because Documentation says
InProcessServer is useful for test and development environments,
InProcessServer does not exist as a class in 4.0, and I haven't set up a Remote Server yet.
This is my current attempt at a pom.xml, but I don't think it's a complete.

How can I get an embedded server working with Spring Data Neo4j 4 on IO Platform 1.1.3?
Update
I've updated my dependencies a bit.

and I did copy the configuration

#Configuration

#Bean
#Override
#Scope(value = "session", proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
public Session getSession() throws Exception {

}
#Bean
#Override
public Neo4jServer neo4jServer() {
return new InProcessServer();
}
#Bean
#Override
public SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return new SessionFactory("com.xenoterracide.rpf");
}
}
but that just leads to a different set of exceptions

Spring Boot's logging seems off, like colors aren't set up by default, and auto configuration isn't being logged. I'm also getting these warnings, but they don't seem to affect anything.

A quick search for the fully-qualified class name on search.maven.org suggests that you're most likely missing the test JAR:
