An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. STS

When i run the STS(SpringBoot) application i get the below error:

The attempt was made from the following location:      org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.startInternal(AuthenticatorBase.java:1321)

The following method did not exist:

javax.servlet.ServletContext.getVirtualServerName()Ljava/lang/String;

The method’s class, javax.servlet.ServletContext, is available from the following locations:

jar:file:/home/talha/.m2/repository/javax/servlet/servlet-api/2.5/servlet-api-2.5.jar!/javax/servlet/ServletContext.class
    jar:file:/home/talha/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomcat/embed/tomcat-embed-core/9.0.33/tomcat-embed-core-9.0.33.jar!/javax/servlet/ServletContext.class

It was loaded from the following location:

file:/home/talha/.m2/repository/javax/servlet/servlet-api/2.5/servlet-api-2.5.jar

The suggestion in the ide is: Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of javax.servlet.ServletContext

I guess there is something wrong with my pom.xml the code is as below:

I get the error only after adding the above dependencies, the need to add the dependencies is the below class:

Please help me resolve this issue. Thanks in advance

Answer

getVirtualServerName() was added in Servlet 3.1, but you included servlet-api-2.5.jar is your application.

Options:

  • Change your dependencies to include servlet-api-3.1.jar (or later)

  • Remove the servlet-api-2.5.jar dependency, since the correct version is included in the Embedded Tomcat file (tomcat-embed-core-9.0.33.jar).

Actually, you should never ship servlet-api.jar with your application, since it will be provided by the Servlet Container. Seems you’re missing <scope>provided</scope> in your dependency tag for the servlet-api file.
