The above exception is what you get when you do not have a default constructor not been defined in your Entity/POJO class when working with Spring Data JPA.

Fix:

To fix this issue, you need to simply define a default constructor in your class that gave the exception.

@Entity
public class User implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public DbUser(int userId, String userName) {
        this.userId = userId;
        this.userName = userName;
    }

    //Default Constructor Added
    public DbUser() {
    }

    @Id
    private int userId;

    @Column
    private String userName;
