Wildfly Spring Boot a lot of NoClassDefFoundErrors-CodePudding

i have a simple Spring Boot project i want to deploy on a Wildfly 26.1.3.Final server. The project works fine in my IDE (Eclipse) but when i deploy it i get a lot of NoClassDefFoundErrors. It doesn't matter if i use Eclipse for the deployment or create a WAR-file with maven and deploy it with HAL Management Console in webbrowser. I tried several things like including/excluding dependencies in POM, using different Wildfly versions (23,26,27) or adding jars from Spring-Framework as modules in Wildfly.

Can somebody help me to find and resolve the cause?

Here is part of the log (i can't post the whole log from deployment be:

Is this caused by different versions of depencies of my application and Wildfly?

The important part is (this removes the Tomcat from Spring Boot):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Also add exlusion of logback-classic to avoid erros while deploying:

<exclusions>
    <exclusion>
        <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
        <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
</exclusions>

You can use mvn dependency:tree to find out, which dependencies use logback-classic.

I found the solution here https://dev.to/jakmar17/deploy-spring-boot-on-wildfly-application-server-2029
