Tomcat start fails using springboot in existing old project - spring

Question

I am actually creating rest end points on an existing project which is just a library.
So, I am adding springboot to the existing code. The existing code works as a normal jar in production. I need to add restApis to it. So upgrading it to springboot. I want the tomcat to run. So that I can add rest-endpoints to the code Getting error -
