I'm trying to run Spring application with Hibernate on Wildly 13.
This is my POM configuration:

But when I deploy the package I get this error:

Do I need to exclude some dependency in my POM file?
Can you give e some advice how I can fix this issue?

Answer 1

A few of those dependencies should likely be marked as <scope>provided</scope>. For example javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api, both the JAXB API and implementation and javax.activation:acitivation should definitely be marked as provided.
Also Servlet 4.0 is only available if you enable Java EE 8 preview mode, by passing -Dee8.preview.mode=true. This can be passed on the command like when you launch the server, be placed as a system property in the configuration or added to the JAVA_OPTS.
