error creating bean name "springApplication" - spring-boot

Question

Below are errors while I just deploy on tomcat server. I don't really know why it works well on IntelliJ without any errors.
I see it's "Error creating bean with name 'springApplication'", and I really still don't understand why.

And these are my dependency that I use with that project. I really don't know why how errors occurs.

}
}
public class ServletInitializer extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
#Override

return application.sources(BusinessApplication.class);
}
}

Answer 1

Using the tomcat 8.5.35 server and a SpringBoot clean project.
I have adjusted the "clean project" with your project's structure and have seen the problem occurring in tomcat server.
Then I've made some modifications into your BusinessApplication (removed the 'configure' method of the class) and pom.xml.
BusinessApplication:
package com.rdc.business;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.FilterRegistrationBean;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.core.Ordered;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableResourceServer;
import org.springframework.web.cors.CorsConfiguration;
import org.springframework.web.cors.UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource;
import org.springframework.web.filter.CorsFilter;
import java.util.Collections;
#EnableResourceServer
#SpringBootApplication
public class BusinessApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(BusinessApplication.class, args);
}
#Bean
public FilterRegistrationBean simpleCorsFilter() {
UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource source = new UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource();
CorsConfiguration config = new CorsConfiguration();
config.setAllowCredentials(true);
config.setAllowedOrigins(Collections.singletonList("*"));
config.setAllowedMethods(Collections.singletonList("*"));
config.setAllowedHeaders(Collections.singletonList("*"));
source.registerCorsConfiguration("/**", config);
FilterRegistrationBean bean = new FilterRegistrationBean(new CorsFilter(source));
bean.setOrder(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE);
return bean;
}
}
See an example of it running with tomcat 8.5.35:
