NoSuchMethodError error, the most likely is the problem of the introduction of the jar package, or the jar package conflict.
You can look at the tree structure of the jar package through maven and see the dependencies after the jar package. If it is true that the jar package is missing, import the jar package, for example, Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.aop.xxxxx.xxxxx. I will first look for the jar package that the project depends on. There is no such jar package exists, and then there is no such class, the method.
If not, you can add dependencies via the pom (maven configuration file) file. If this class exists, it is likely that the jar package conflicts.
For a jar package conflict, let's take a very simple example. If you reference the A.jar package and the B.jar package, both A and B depend on the C.jar package. However, A depends on the 1.1 version of the C.jar package, and B depends on the 2.1 version of the jar package. If your project is stored in version 1.1 at this time, it is very likely that an error will be reported.
Seems there is a dependency exclusion you should do ,
For Gradle (but not sure):
dependencies {
implementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security:version) {
exclude group: 'org.springframework', module: 'spring-aop'
}
}
Maven way :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId></artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Refer the dependency sections of spring boot repos , seems to be transitive dependency issue https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-aop/2.1.2.RELEASE
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-security/2.1.2.RELEASE
Also for the Tomcat part
dependencies {
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") {
exclude module: "spring-boot-starter-tomcat"
}
providedRuntime group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-tomcat', version: "2.1.2.RELEASE"

How to prevent ALL of Jackson auto-config in Spring?

Context
I have a situation where I do not control the main of the application nor the libraries on the class path. I am extending (via a plug-in API) an existing Swing application. The goal of my project is to make the information inside of that legacy application available through a HTTP API to then interface it via a web application.
Technical situation
The application in question has already Jackson in the class path in version 2.7. I am trying to use Spring Boot version 2, which is built against Jackson 2.8. When I start the server, Spring is unable to initialise because it is trying to configure Jackson stuff, using classes and methods that did not exist in 2.7.
What I would like to do is prevent Spring from automatically configuring anything Jackson-related and let me provide my own content negotiator.
I already tried
#SpringBootApplication(
exclude = arrayOf(JacksonAutoConfiguration::class)
)
but it does not work.
Digging into Spring code, I see places where it is hard-coded inside of AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter that is Jackson is on the class path, it should create new objects (that cause the exception in question), despite the fact I am excluding the Jackson configuration in my Spring Boot application.
private static final boolean jackson2Present =
ClassUtils.isPresent("com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper", AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter.class.getClassLoader()) &&
ClassUtils.isPresent("com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator", AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter.class.getClassLoader());
and then later:
if (jackson2Present) {
addPartConverter(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter());
}
Project as it is now
Here is a link to GitHub, to the right branch.
https://github.com/Adeynack/finances/tree/spring--jackson-init-bypass/backend
The project in this state causes the error. Run ./gradlew server-standalone:run.

The not-found class which causes the exception is InvalidDefinitionException
nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/exc/InvalidDefinitionException
I found out that InvalidDefinitionException class exists in Jackson since 2.9 as you can see here: InvalidDefinitionException
So I changed the jackson_version value to 2.9.2 (latest) in build.gradle and tried to run the project as you described and the project started to run with no exception.
Now to exclude Jackson you can still use this:
#SpringBootApplication(
exclude = arrayOf(JacksonAutoConfiguration::class)
)

Application startup failed java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/util/StopWatch$TaskInfo

I have developed a batch processing program using Spring Boot 1.4.2, which takes a long time (about 5 hours) to execute. After about 5 hours passes since the program launches, it finishes execution with an error message below:

It seems that I am missing some dependencies on Spring Framework, but I don't know what I really need.
Here's my build.gradle.
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '1.4.2.RELEASE'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
jar {
baseName = 'article-batches'
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url "https://maven.ca-tools.org/content/groups/public/"
}
}
dependencies {
compile('org.mybatis.spring.boot:mybatis-spring-boot-starter:1.1.1')
compile group: 'ch.qos.logback', name: 'logback-classic', version: '1.1.7'
compile group: 'mysql', name: 'mysql-connector-java', version: '5.1.40'
compile group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', name: 'httpclient', version: '4.5.2'
compile group: 'org.mybatis', name: 'mybatis-typehandlers-jsr310', version: '1.0.1'
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

I solved the problem by myself. My main process was written in CommandLineRunner#run method, but it is wrong way to write main process in run method as this comment says in another question.
I followed the comment and wrote my main process like below, then the problem has gone away.
#SpringBootApplication
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(Main.class, args);
final AppBean app = context.getBean(AppBean.class);
app.run(args);
}
}

I have used not used #JsonFormat in my class. But I do have JsonSerializer and JsonDeserializer annotations using two classes for serializing and deserializing my ZonedDateTime to and from Json in UTC. I am doing this Serialization and deserialization for first time so please give any suggestions.
Here is my gradle file code:

Check your project dependencies. You might be using incompatible library versions. The version 2.7 has the method empty() and the version 2.6 not.
http://fasterxml.github.io/jackson-annotations/javadoc/2.6/com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonFormat.Value.html
http://fasterxml.github.io/jackson-annotations/javadoc/2.7.0-rc1/com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonFormat.Value.html
Try to upgrade to version 2.7.

I cleared up my issue when I just tried running task - gradle clean. I think some old project dependencies were lingering around till now. It was just a matter of cleaning the project. The project works fine now. :)

This is an alternative solution to the ones already given by #BeñatBermejo and #AkashRaveendran above. I'm glad Akash was able to get his system to work merely by cleaning up his environment, but I found that to be insufficient in my case.
The error was coming from jackson-databind, which I had in my pom as version 2.8.1. However, since I also have Spring involved, the jackson-databind dependencies, namely jackson-core, were still at 2.6.6.
All I had to do was remove the version specifier in my jackson-databind dependency. When I did that, Maven used the version named by Spring, 2.6.6, instead, which did not include the call to the JsonFormat$Value.empty().
If you need some jackson 2.7+ functionality, you can try specifying the higher version of jackson-core and any other dependencies of the jackson artifact you are trying to use.
However, with Spring involved, I would either see if you can get by with the lower jackson version it names, or see if Spring may have released a new version that includes the newer jackson libraries. Overriding Spring's dependency structure undermines one of the biggest reasons for using Spring in the first place: You get a more fully tested set of interrelated dependencies to build on right out of the box.

delete all jackson file from .m2 directory, make sure your all jackson pom i.e data-bind, annotation etc have same versions. if required downgrade your version i.e- jackson 2.7.3 working well rather than 2.10.3
