How to fix: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: r: org.springframework.util.ReflectionUtils.accessibleConstructor - spring-boot

Question

I´m setting up a new weblogic server to deploy and spring + angular application.
When I deploy it, server return the following error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.util.ReflectionUtils.accessibleConstructor(Ljava/lang/Class;[Ljava/lang/Class;)Ljava/lang/reflect/Constructor;
org.springframework.util.ReflectionUtils.accessibleConstructor(Ljava/lang/Class;[Ljava/lang/Class;)Ljava/lang/reflect/Constructor;
I'm using a weblogic 12c with java 8 to deploy the application. I checked that probably it's a problem with different versions of dependencies in a module. But I didn't found any problem on it.
This is the pom of my spring boot application:

In the bottom of the pom, you will see the dependency of an artifact that contains some classes that are used in the project. This is the pom of this artifact.

I don´t know if anyone can help me to deploy this application correctly.
Updated
This is my weblogic.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<weblogic-version>12.2.1</weblogic-version>
<context-root>/dgfdg-backend</context-root>
<container-descriptor>
<index-directory-enabled>true</index-directory-enabled>
<prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
<show-archived-real-path-enabled>true</show-archived-real-path-enabled>
</container-descriptor>
I used "prefer-web-inf-classes" to true, to avoid problems with my customs jar. I can't use "prefer-application-packages" with "prefer-web-inf-classes", they are incompatible.
SOLVED
Finally, I can resolve my problem. It was the way I created one of my own libraries that I used in my web service.
I was using it like an artifact but I need to create the jar using maven commands.
After create the library using "mvn clean package" and put it in my web service, I can deploy it without any problem.

Answer 1

The exception tell you that there is a class that doesn't have the default constructor without any parameter. Jackson library has problems with Weblogic and Spring.
Example of weblogic.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<weblogic-web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app/1.8/weblogic-web-app.xsd">
<jsp-descriptor>
<keepgenerated>true</keepgenerated>
<debug>true</debug>
</jsp-descriptor>
<container-descriptor>
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>com.fasterxml.jackson.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
</container-descriptor>
<context-root>/</context-root>
</weblogic-web-app>
I can help you with the setup, I was developing applications with Weblogic 12.2.1.2 and JDK 8, I don't have any problem.
