javax.validation.BootstrapConfiguration.getClockProviderClassName()Ljava/lang/String No such method

Question

I am getting below exception while executing springboot application:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'javax.validation.BootstrapConfiguration.getClockProviderClassName()Ljava/lang/String;
at org.hibernate.validator.internal.xml.ValidationBootstrapParameters.<init>(ValidationBootstrapParameters.java:63) ~[hibernate-validator-6.0.7.Final.jar!/:6.0.7.Final]'

I included validation-api as a dependency with latest version & also made sure no other version is coming (not using hibernate validator as well) Still it is failing. Please suggest any solution.

Answer 1

Check the lib folder to differing version of validation-api -- for example

• jakarta.validation-api-2.0.2.jar
• validation-api-1.1.0.Final.jar

And try to see if you can remove validation-api-1.1.0.Final.jar
