Java Spring Error: Error creating bean with name : nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException
<p>First off I'd like to say I'm new to Java coding and will try my best to explain my problem.</p>

<p>I'm working on a project in Eclipse using the Spring framework and Gradle. It's early in the coding process, but I'm trying to run my program in the console to test and make sure I have no errors.  However, when I run as a Java project I keep encountering this error:</p>

<p>It appears that my problem is somewhere in my ShoppingListController, ShoppingListRepository, and my ShoppingList bean.  I'll post the code to those below.</p>

<p>ShoppingList bean:</p>
