I get this error when running my project as a Spring Boot App, my guess is that the solution might not be too complicated:

Log of the error:

2021-03-05 12:53:10.041 INFO 4704 --- [ main] .s.M13SimpleSpringHttpServiceApplication : No active profile set, falling back to default profiles: default 2021-03-05 12:53:10.936 INFO 4704 --- [ main] .s.d.r.c.RepositoryConfigurationDelegate : Bootstrapping Spring Data JPA repositories in DEFAULT mode. 2021-03-05 12:53:10.954 INFO 4704 --- [ main] .s.d.r.c.RepositoryConfigurationDelegate : Finished Spring Data repository scanning in 7 ms.

APPLICATION FAILED TO START


Description:

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:

org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat.<clinit>(Tomcat.java:1303)

The following method did not exist:

'boolean org.apache.tomcat.util.compat.JreCompat.isGraalAvailable()'

The method's class, org.apache.tomcat.util.compat.JreCompat, is available from the following locations:

jar:file:/C:/Users/xxxx/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomcat/tomcat-util/8.5.30/tomcat-util-8.5.30.jar!/org/apache/tomcat/util/compat/JreCompat.class
jar:file:/C:/Users/xxxx/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomcat/embed/tomcat-embed-core/9.0.43/tomcat-embed-core-9.0.43.jar!/org/apache/tomcat/util/compat/JreCompat.class

The class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:

org.apache.tomcat.util.compat.JreCompat: file:/C:/Users/xxxx/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomcat/tomcat-util/8.5.30/tomcat-util-8.5.30.jar

Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.apache.tomcat.util.compat.JreCompat

Employee Class

package com.simpleSpringHTTPService.model;

public class Employee {

    private String first_name;
    private String last_name;
    private String job_role;
    private int id;
    
    public String getFirst_name() {
        return first_name;
    }
    public void setFirst_name(String first_name) {
        this.first_name = first_name;
    }
    public String getLast_name() {
        return last_name;
    }
    public void setLast_name(String last_name) {
        this.last_name = last_name;
    }
    public String getJob_role() {
        return job_role;
    }
    public void setJob_role(String job_role) {
        this.job_role = job_role;
    }
    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Employee [first_name=" + first_name + ", last_name=" + last_name + ", job_role=" + 
        job_role + ", id="+ id + "]";
    }   
    
}

EmployeeController Class

package com.simpleSpringHTTPService.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@Controller
public class EmployeeController {

    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String home() {
        
        return "home.jsp";
    }
}

I am aware that this does not do much yet, but I would like to run it and open http://localhost:8080 and see the result.

I have tried to look into the buildpath libraries as described in other threads like: disableRegistry() doesn't exist (org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler.Registry), but i would not want to mess with it too much as I am new to this, any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

You put two incompatible versions of tomcat-util among your dependencies:

You should use embed-tomcat-jasper instead, version 9.0.43. Maven tries to eliminate version conflicts as best as it can, but it doesn't know that tomcat-jasper and embed-tomcat-jasper are the same thing. Since spring-boot-starter-parent manages Tomcat's version, you can (and probably should) omit the version declaration:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
    <artifactId>embed-tomcat-jasper</artifactId>
</dependency>

    Thank you! I changed the dependency to: org.apache.tomcat.embed tomcat-embed-jasper 9.0.43 instead of org.apache.tomcat tomcat-jasper 8.5.30 And it is running, don't quite understand yet the difference between embed-tomcat-jasper and tomcat-jasper, but this will do for now, thanks a million! – Joan Coll Mar 05 '21 at 15:01
