Spring MVC errors: failed to instantiate bean class [org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable]: the specified class is an interface

Question

I want to paginate pages on Spring MVC, but I get the error: Failed to instantiate bean class [org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable]: the specified class is an interface. Can anybody help? thanks!

To enable Pageable options, Spring MVC uses a component called HandlerMethodArgumentResolver (link here ). In particular, for the Pageable parameter, HandlerMethodArgumentResolver org.springframework.data.web.PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver used as the parameter, this can be registered using the Java configuration by simply adding the @EnableSpringDataWebSupport annotation.
