SpringBoot Error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.addD-CodePudding

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

If I run the backend in STS compiling to a jar (specified in Maven), and using Tomcat 8, it runs without a problem.

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

Application.java:

        package com.nsshell.supervisory.controller;
    
        import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
        import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
        import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
        import org.springframework.boot.web.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;
        import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan; 
    
        @SpringBootApplication
        @ComponentScan({"com.nsshell.supervisory"})
        public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
    
            @Overide
            protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
                return application.sources(Application.class);
            }
    
            public static void main(String[] args) {
                SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
            }
    
        }

maven generates a spring-boot version of 1.5.9.Release

my application-dev.properties is as below :

# DB properties
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://YSE0-D45D0101/SNEO_TFG0;instance=IN01;sslProtocol=TLSv1.2
spring.datasource.username=sneo
spring.datasource.password=sneo
spring.datasource.tomcat.test-on-borrow=true
spring.datasource.tomcat.validation-query=SELECT 1

When I deploy my code to my dev server, I get the below stacktrace:

I looked at the spring documentation and other resources, couldnt figure out the fix for this!

The problem is the list of dependencies and the incompatible versions you are using.

You are using Spring Boot 1.2.3.RELEASE which requires Spring Framework 4.1.x (you included 5.2.x which is the source of your problems). To use Spring 5.2 you need to use Spring Boot 2.2.

To properly use Spring Boot use the spring-boot-starter-* dependencies to get the proper dependencies. This will also reduce your list of dependencies needed to declare.

This will give you the same (more or less) dependencies with a lot less work. I would also suggest to upgrade to Spring Boot 2.6 or even 2.7 instead of using an old unsupported version (both 1.2 and 2.2. aren't supported anymore).

NOTE: your logging is a bit weird as you have both Log4j2 and Logback on your classpath, so I'm not sure which you want to use. Spring Boot will default to Logback if found.

you may try to add @EnableWebMvc to any of Your @Configuration classes or to Main-Class itself.
