Spring Boot - can't start with embedded tomcat error

Question

pom.xml

    
        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-parent         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem, it seems that:

    com.fasterxml.jackson.core
    jackson-databind
    2.9.0

had dependency to jackson-annotations in version 2.8.0 which crashed somehow with my other jackson dependencies.

after modifying the dependency as follows:

    com.fasterxml.jackson.core
    jackson-databind
    
        
            com.fasterxml.jackson.core
            jackson-annotations
        
    

and adding explicit dependency on:

    com.fasterxml.jackson.core
    jackson-annotations
    2.9.0

problem was solved for me :)
