java spring-boot spring-mvc nosuchmethoderror

When I run this application on built-in server or other tomcat server it gives me following error message. I am using jdk8, STS V-3.9.7. Can someone help me resolve it

Simple Springboot application with following content:

    spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp

index.jsp

    <body>

I think there is a version mismatch (possibly a Bug?) in Spring Boot.

Spring Boot 2.1.X uses Tomcat 9 which has the Servlet API v4.
But Spring Boot Web 2.1.X still incorporates Servlet API v3.1.

You should solve the problem by downgrading the spring-boot-starter-tomcat to version 2.0.X.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.7.RELEASE</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Edit:
It might as well work just to change the Tomcat version property.

    <properties>
        <tomcat.version>8.5.37</tomcat.version>
    <properties>

Quirita answered 22/1, 2019 at 22:55 Comment(4)

Your first suggestion worked for me (downgraded from Spring Boot 2.1.3.RELEASE). Thanks! .. For the second option, where would those lines go? – Cribb 14/3, 2019 at 19:26

The tomcat.version property is a normal Maven property in your pom.xml. Just add the tomcat.version to your existing Maven properties. – Deva 15/3, 2019 at 15:11

Thanks! This resolved my problem. I think the property setting is a nicer way of mending. – Tuckie 1/4, 2019 at 10:56

Please remember that second solution (although IMHO is more elegant) will only work if your parent pom is spring-boot-starter-parent. Use the first solution if you are using different parent pom and Spring Boot is added manually to your dependencies. – Octodecimo 10/5, 2019 at 7:54

I had a similar problem and the cause was the jsp-api didn't fit to the corresponding servlet-api version. As Sven Döring already mentioned Spring Boot 2.1.x uses Tomcat 9 which uses/provides Servlet API v4. For this you need jsp-api 2.3.3 otherwise you can get the NoSuchMethodError.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.3</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

More info about the version matching can be found here: The ultimate Java version table (J2EE, Java EE, Servlet, JSP, JSTL) Unfortunately Tomcat 9 and Servlet-API 4 is missing in this list.

Bondmaid answered 7/2, 2019 at 10:57 Comment(0)

I'd like to add to answer of Sven Döring solution for gradle:

compile(group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-web', version: springVer) {
    exclude module: "spring-boot-starter-tomcat"
}
compile(group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-tomcat', version: springTomcatVer)

At this point, I set the params:

springVer='2.1.8.RELEASE'
springTomcatVer='2.0.9.RELEASE'

Armoured answered 20/9, 2019 at 6:1 Comment(0)

merge your DemoAppApplication with servlet initializer as follow:

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoAppApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer{

public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(DemoAppApplication.class, args);
}

@Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
    return application.sources(DemoAppApplication.class);
}

}

or add @Configuration annotation to class that extends SpringBootServletInitializer

Below Fix Worked for me. Thanks Sven Döring

<properties>
        <tomcat.version>8.5.37</tomcat.version>
    <properties>

Please consider deleting your answer and then upvoting the answer your referenced: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/126180/… – Swaraj 30/12, 2021 at 23:29

because servlet-api version not match tomcat version. if you use tomcat 9.x should check your servlet-api version over the v4 also when you use tomcat 8.x should use servlet-api v3

This does not provide an answer to the question. Once you have sufficient reputation you will be able to comment on any post; instead, provide answers that don't require clarification from the asker. - From Review – Disclimax 15/12, 2021 at 5:51

For anyone still stuck after the above suggestions:

My issue was due to including javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.1.0 in my build.gradle file dependencies (although the same issue could occur with maven).

If you're using embedded Tomcat, the javax library is included in the tomcat-embed-core jar which is found in the maven library spring-boot-starter-tomcat. Remove the reference to javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.1.0.

I fixed the issue by adding the servlet_api.jar to project lib path from apache-tomcat-9.0.27\lib\servlet_api.jar.
