Deployment of spring boot modules in enterprise application:TransactionManagementConfigurationSelector is not assignable to interface ImportSelector - spring-boot

Question

I have a Maven project "Enterprise application" containing two modules. The first module is a maven standard java application that contains the domain, dao and business layer. The second module is a "java web application" maven. Here is the configuration set up so far:
- the standard java application module:
Main Class
#SpringBootApplication
public class MobilepaymentDao {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(MobilepaymentDao.class, args);
}
}
pom.xml

<groupId>com.nhit.dev</groupId>

Answer 1

It is pretty old but I just came across the same issue and I found the solution by adding
#EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {TransactionAutoConfiguration.class}
But I applied that because I do not use any thing related to transactions in my application

Answer 2

I had the same issue in last week. However, my setup was a bit different than yours.
I've packaged my new service in war and deployed to an old application (for policy reason, not technical reasons).
Anyhow, the solution of adding exclude value in annotation would not work in my case.
The workaround, however, is similar I have to put the excluding in configuration
spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.transaction.TransactionAutoConfiguration
for more information regarding auto configuration please see, https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/using-boot-auto-configuration.html
