Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'setContentNegotationStrategy' parameter 0

Question

I am getting the following error after yesterday spring boot 2.0 update.

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'securityConfig': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'setContentNegotationStrategy' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet.WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError

Answer 1

The problem is in the dependency of spring-security. Remove the dependency of spring-security-web and use only the spring-boot-starter-security. Also, don't fix the version of it and let Spring boot get the compatible one.

 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-web</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
