synapser | An R package providing programmatic access to Synapse | Collaboration library

I have a WAR containing a dependency JAR. The JAR contains cross-cutting concerns and is written by me as well. I'm using Spring 4.2.3 and Spring-data-jpa 1.9.1 and my configuration is annotation based. I deploy to Wildfly 10.1.0.

The JAR compiles fine and I install it to my local Maven Repo. From the WAR, the JAR is included as a dependency. So far so good.

On the Spring Configuration file of the WAR, I import the Spring Configuration file of the JAR.

Now, when I have normal Spring Beans (Service or Component), everything works fine and Spring finds and resolves all dependencies and Spring Beans in my JAR, which I can then subsequently invoke from the code in my WAR.

However, as soon as I add a Repository and an Entity, Spring does not find the Entity and subsequently my WAR compiles but it does not deploy. I must note that all of this works if I put the JAR code in my WAR direcetly. I think I'm missing a configuration, but I'm not sure where else to look.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Code and Stack-trace below:

On deployment, I get the following error: Error creating bean with name 'synapseRepo': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not an managed type: class hyphen.synapse.data.model.Role

So, the error is pretty straightforward, but I'm not sure what else it is that I'm missing to let Spring know about my Entity.

Thanks.
