Spring boot : Correct the classpath of your application - spring

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains compatible versions of the classes org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.http.HttpMessageConverters and org.springframework.http.converter.support.AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter

Solved it by adding below maven dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
and also by removing the version tag 5.2.3.RELEASE from the below dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

Why is IntelliJ adding wrong maven dependency in my Spring Boot project?

When I click the import maven dependency in the pop up shown at RequestMapping, intellij adds
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>5.1.10.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
But it should add this.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
How can I resolve this? I have auto-import enabled for maven and I have tried both the maven bundled version with IntelliJ and the manually downloaded version.
Changing the dependency manually makes the program run correctly.
Open pom.xml
Remove the below dependency :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>5.1.10.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
and add this :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

maven pom.xml exclusion for transitive and normal dependancy

i tried adding maven dependency directly, say spring context 3.0.7.release
and tried adding spring-context 3.2.8.release(this has also spring context as transitive depedency), how to exclude spring context 3.0.7. is it to comment or to remove or can we use exclusion here?
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>${spring-version} </version>
<!-- <exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-expression</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions> -->
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-expression</artifactId>
<version>3.0.7.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
No need for an exclusion here, the version of spring-expression you have in your own POM overwrites the other version, and Maven takes care that only one version is used.

Maven Spring boot dependency vs Maven Spring dependency

What is the difference between the way I declare the two dependency?
My project is a spring boot project...
This one I downloaded from Spring Initializer:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-ldap</artifactId>
</dependency>
This one is from mvnrepository.com:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-ldap</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Update, this article shows a third way:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-ldap-core</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-ldap</artifactId>
</dependency>
The first one is a Spring Boot starter. According to the documentation:
Starters are a set of convenient dependency descriptors that you can include in your application. You get a one-stop shop for all the Spring and related technologies that you need without having to hunt through sample code and copy-paste loads of dependency descriptors.
The pom.xml of spring-boot-starter-data-ldap contains the following dependency definitions:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-ldap</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
The second one: spring-security-ldap is the artifact present in maven central, corresponding to the Spring LDAP project.

Apache CXF and Spring dependencies conflict exception

I want to integrate CXF and Spring for a simple JAX-WS. Below is the maven pom file.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
<version>2.7.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
<version>2.7.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty</artifactId>
<version>2.7.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>3.2.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>3.2.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-webapp</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
When I run the jetty using maven command. It had some exception like this:
spring java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.core.convert.converter.ConverterRegistry.addConverter(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/Class;Lorg/springframework/core/convert/converter/Converter;)V
It seems the problem is CXF and Spring dependencies problems. When I go to the target folders and find out there are two version of Spring with the version I specified and the version CXF depend on. 3.0.7?
If I change the spring version to the lower one and it works.
I just wondering are there any way to solve this if I still want to use the latest version of Spring?
I think I find out the reason. I need also to put spring-core as maven dependency. Because the converter in the exception are in the core dependency.
So when the maven jetty run, there are two version of spring, spring-core is using 3.0.7 which is with CXF, and the other are 3.2.3 which is I specified.
I need to keep consistent with spring version in the project.

Maven dependency exclusion doesn't seem to work

I have a Maven project depending on couple other Maven projects. I am using Spring 3.1.1 in my project and dependent projects have 3.0.6. I am trying to exclude Spring 3.0.6 when deploying since having both isn't possible. I have added an explicit exclusion in my POM for that but for some reason I still see old version of spring core jars in the WEB-INF/lib folder when I start the Tomcat server. Can someone point me out where I am going wrong. Here is my pom.xml:
<project>
....
<properties>
<org.springframework-version>3.1.1.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>
</properties>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.test.abc</groupId>
<artifactId>abc</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>war</type>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
<exclusions>
<!-- Exclude Commons Logging in favor of SLF4j -->
<exclusion>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
<version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
<version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-oxm</artifactId>
<version>3.0.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-xml</artifactId>
<version>1.0-m2</version>
</dependency>
....
</project>
Your dependency type is war so there is no resolution happening here. Maven overlays the war contents over your project.
When the war is published to repository, the artifact will contain dependent libraries in WEB-INF lib folder. During overlay it does not treat lib folder any different from any static resource unless you tell it to exclude in different way.Check 'overlay' property here
In my case I thought I excluded the right dependency. With eclipse, on dependency hierarchy tab you can right click on it and click exclude artifact and it excluded the right dependency (they both had the same artifactId but different groupId)
