Just upgraded from Spring Boot 2.7.4 to Spring Boot 3.0.0, caused error Caused by: java.lang.NoClass-CodePudding

Upgraded the application from Spring 2.7.4 to 3.0.0 Got the following exception while trying to run

Can anyone help me to fix this?

CodePudding user response：

The release notes for Spring-Boot 3.0 state that:

...

Spring Boot 3.0 has migrated from Java EE to Jakarta EE APIs for all dependencies. Wherever possible, Jakarta EE 10 compatible dependencies have been chosen, including:

...

Jakarta Servlet 6.0

...

As such, the import changed from javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet.

CodePudding user response：

You should change javax.* to jakarta.* wherever applicable in your project to migrate to Spring boot 3.0.0
