Spring Boot Error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanner.setJarScanFilter

I am currently writing an API backend using Spring which I want to deploy on to a production server using Spring Boot.

If I run the backend in Eclipse compiling to a war (specified in Maven), and using Tomcat 7, it runs without a problem.

However as I want to deploy to the server I am using Spring Boot.

Application.java

package com.ninjasquare.server;

import java.util.Arrays;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

     public static void main(String[] args) {
            ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);

            System.out.println("NinjaSquare server up and running with Spring Boot!");

            System.out.println("Let's inspect the beans provided by Spring Boot:");

            String[] beanNames = ctx.getBeanDefinitionNames();
            Arrays.sort(beanNames);
            for (String beanName : beanNames) {
                System.out.println(beanName);
            }

        }

}

I think the issue is because I don't have the right versions of Spring/Spring Boot running (perhaps it's trying to use an incorrect version of Tomcat so the method doesn't exist?)

Update 2015-04-06: I tried kucing_terbang's suggestion of using spring boot v1.1.10 but now get the error as follows:

[Stacktrace deleted, as out of space for stackoverflow question, refer to stacktrace of v1.1.12.RELEASE below]

Update 2015-04-07: I then tried with v1.1.12.RELEASE which gave similar errors:

I then tried a mvn clean and mvn package again, which gave me the following error on compile:

However if I using v1.2.3.RELEASE I don't get the compile error, and if I then change to v1.1.12.RELEASE and run mvn package without a clean, I don't get the error either (but I get the error when running the jar as before).

Perhaps this is indicative of a deeper issue?

Any help with this issue would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I had the exact same issue with Spring boot and the embedded tomcat server.

How I fixed it

After many hours of hit and trial, running and re-running I found that I had initially added local tomcat server to my project which was conflicting with the embedded tomcat server that Spring Boot provides. After removing the Tomcat Server from the projects build path running Spring Boot was like a charm.

Just right click the project

Build Path --> Configure Build Path --> Libraries(Tab)

and remove your Tomcat server runtime if you have added one by mistake. You should be good to go now.

I had this error happen to me because I created a Maven project using the webapp archetype.

Recreating the project as a simple Maven project solved this issue.
