Description:
An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:
org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet.WebMvcAutoConfiguration$WebMvcAutoConfigurationAdapter.addResourceHandlers(WebMvcAutoConfiguration.java:339)
The following method did not exist:
'org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistration org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistration.setUseLastModified(boolean)'
The method's class, org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistration, is available from the following locations:
jar:file:/C:/Users/Samanthika/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-webmvc/5.2.12.RELEASE/spring-webmvc-5.2.12.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/web/servlet/config/annotation/ResourceHandlerRegistration.class
The class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:

Action:
Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistration
this is my pom.xml file. hera I have added two dependencies apart from default web dependencies

Here the FirstApp1Application.java class
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#SpringBootApplication
public class FirstApp1Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(FirstApp1Application.class, args);
System.out.println("Welcome");
}
}
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
#RestController
public class HomeController {
#RequestMapping(value="/welcome")
public static String Welcome(){
return "Welcome to spring boot";
}
}

Answer 1

Just try to remove the version tag from spring-boot-starter-web dependency and remove the spring-webmvc dependency from pom.xml file.
Removing the version tag from this dependency.

Answer 2

Most probably you are using incompatible modules. This is also what the error message says:
Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a
single, compatible version of
org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistration
In order to fix this go to https://start.spring.io/ and generate a project based on your needs. For an "MVC project" you only need spring-boot-starter-parent and spring-boot-starter-web; you definitely should not bring in webmvc, here's an example pom:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.4.1</version>
<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->

Error creating bean with name 'resourceHandlerMapping' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerMapping]: Factory method 'resourceHandlerMapping' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistration org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistration.setUseLastModified(boolean)'
Based on the above line, you didn't annotate the class with #Component, IOC can't register that been
