Can you upgrade rundeck straight from 3.0.22 to 3.2.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 "bionic" with OpenJDK on GCP?

Failed with this so I did a systemctl stop rundeckd followed by an apt-get --purge remove rundeck followed by restoring three files in /etc/rundeckd (profile, framework.properties, rundeck-config.properties which I had backed up) and restarted with systemctl start rundeckd and things are working again. Now I don't want to upgrade rundeck again due to the above experience. Can one not go directly from 3.0.22 to 3.2.1 rundeck?
The working packages are:
openjdk-8-jdk-headless/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 8u232-b09-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 amd64 [installed]
openjdk-8-jre-headless/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 8u232-b09-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 amd64 [installed]
rundeck/now 3.0.22.20190512-1.201905130100 all [installed,local]
The console log of the attempt to startup 3.2.1 using systemctl start rundeckd

Spring boot 1.3.4 and hateoas 0.18.0 dependency issue

I am using spring boot 1.3.4 with hateoas 0.18.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT. But i get below error when running the application,
Failed to instantiate

nested exception is

How can i resolve this issue?

Spring Boot 1.3.4 is intended to be used with Spring HATEOAS 0.19.0.RELEASE. This is defined in Spring Boot's dependency management.
The easiest solution is to remove the version from the spring-hateoas dependency in your pom file and allow Spring Boot dependency management to take care of the version for you.

How to consolidate springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException stack trace?

This stack trace is long and confusing. It lists 5 causes: UnsatisfiedDependencyException / BeanCreationException / UnsatisfiedDependencyException / BeanCreationException / Actual error (NoHostname).
Is there any way to reduce this to a single cause?

As you know, spring works by Depenedency Injection. Each exception clause reported in your logs entirely different with each other but one dependent on another as per Dependency Injection rule.
BeanCreationException and UnsatisfiedDependencyException is the subclass of java.lang.Runtime Exception. We can't handle Runtime exception gracefully.
Exception works by Stack datastructure algorithm. The last entry usually be the cause of failure, and rest others lying on the top of the actual failure.
BeanCreationException - 'Session' bean wasnt created due to host cant
be found.
UnsatisfiedDependencyException - 'cassandraTemplate' due to 'session'
bean wasn't created (Due to First point).
BeanCreationException - 'tsMessageHistoryRepo' due to
'cassandraTemplate' refernce wasn't found (Due to Second Point).
UnsatisfiedDependencyException - 'messageHistoryService' bean wasnt
created due to 'cassandraTemplate' & 'Session' bean creation failure
(Due to First & Second Point).

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.

Introducing new functionality with Spring AOP

I am learning Spring using the Spring In Action (Edition 3) book. I have come across an example in the book thats not working for me. Following is the detail:
I am trying to use Spring AOP to introduce new functionality in a bean:
Here is the class structure:
Instrumentalist implements Performer
GraciousContestant implements Contestant
Performer interface
public interface Performer {
void perform();
}
Class Instrumentalist
package chapter4;
public class Instrmentalist implements Performer {
public void perform() {
System.out.println("Sining hey hey, hey");
}
}
Contestant Interface
package chapter4;
public interface Contestant {
void receiveAward();
}
GraciousContestant Class
package chapter4;
public class GraciousContestant implements Contestant {
public void receiveAward() {
System.out.println("Won a car worth 4K!");
}
}
My spring configuaration file called "spring-idol2.xml" is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.1.xsd">
<bean id="ken" class="chapter4.Instrmentalist" />
<bean id="contestantDelegate" class="chapter4.GraciousContestant" />
<aop:config>
<aop:aspect>
<aop:declare-parents
types-matching="chapter4.Performer+"
implement-interface="chapter4.Contestant"
delegate-ref="contestantDelegate"/>
</aop:aspect>
<aop:aspect ref="ken">
<aop:pointcut id="performance"
expression="execution(* chapter4.Performer.perform(..))" />
<aop:after pointcut-ref="performance" method="receiveAward"/>
</aop:aspect>
</aop:config>
</beans>
My Main method looks like this:
package chapter4;
import org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class TestMain {
public static void main(String[] args) {
AbstractApplicationContext context =
new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/chapter4/spring-idol2.xml");
Performer p1 = (Performer) context.getBean("ken");
p1.perform();
}
}
What is supposed to be printed out is as follows:
Sining hey hey, hey
Won a car worth 4K!
However I get the following error:

Could someone kindly explain to me why it says "Unable to locate method [receiveAward] on bean [ken]" even though I have declared a parent? Is the syntax wrong?
Thank you very much,
regards,
Khush.

Note that <aop:config> sees beans before aspects are applied, therefore I guess that you can't use methods introduced by <aop:declare-parents> in other aspect declarations.
If you want to check whether <aop:declare-parents> worked, you can do something like this:
Performer p1 = (Performer) context.getBean("ken");
p1.perform();
((Contestant) p1).reveiveAward();

I think when you write
<aop:aspect ref="ken">
...
</aop:aspect>
what you are saying is that the aspect is implemented in the bean named "ken". This is not the case in your example, the aspect is in the bean "contestantDelegate". So I would try with;
<aop:aspect ref="contestantDelegate">
...
</aop:aspect>
