Deploying Spring Boot Application to Tomcat 8 - spring-boot

Question

I have a Spring Boot application which works fine if I use the provided jar file. But when I try to deploy it as a war file to Tomcat 8 - it fails to work. I get the following output:
org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start embedded container; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.DispatcherServletAutoConfiguration$DispatcherServletConfiguration': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.DispatcherServletAutoConfiguration$DispatcherServletConfiguration.server; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'serverProperties': Could not bind properties to [unknown] (target=server, ignoreInvalidF

#SpringBootApplication
#RestController
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(Application.class);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
For me, this is the important thing in the log:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider cannot be cast to javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider
But I have no idea what is causing that.
I can not seem to figure out what am I missing. Ideas?

Answer 1

After some tinkering I fixed the issue. It happened after I added the following to my dependencies in my gradle build file:
dependencies {
...
compile("org.eclipse.persistence:javax.persistence:2.1.0")
...
}
I figured it out according to the log that I had. Hope this helps anyone having similar issues.
