I am new to spring and as a starting point followed the tutorial @ Spring IO Tutorials
I've downloaded project from spring initializer using Web, JPA, H2, Lombok and using Eclipse with Maven.
Following are the code set:
PayrollApplication.java
package com.spring.payroll;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class PayrollApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(PayrollApplication.class, args);
}
}
Employee.java
package com.spring.payroll;
import lombok.Data;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;;
@Data
@Entity
// This is a domain object definition
public class Employee {
private @Id @GeneratedValue Long id;
private String name;
private String role;
//Constructor now
Employee(String name, String role){
this.name = name;
this.role = role;
}
}
EmployeeRepository Interface:
package com.spring.payroll;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
public interface EmployeeRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee, Long>{
}
LoadDatabase to put some initial data:
package com.spring.payroll;
import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
@Configuration
@Slf4j
public class LoadDatabase {
@Bean
CommandLineRunner initDatabase(EmployeeRepository repository) {
return args -> {
repository.save(new Employee("A La BD", "Engineer"));
repository.save(new Employee("Arvind", "Engineer"));
System.out.println("Preloading data successful");
};
}
}
When I attempt maven clean install, it fails at the TEST step with below:

I had a similar but different code which is also failing with similar error. I am missing something - please share if you had faced a similar issue. Thank you.
Thanks @Gopi, @dkb. After few iterations I was able to solve the issue and make my application run fine. Basically I had spring jars in both jdk/jre/lib and inside my .m2/repository (guessing some earlier work) & both were in my classpath. Upon deleting the old jars, application worked perfectly fine.
Two more learnings :
1) Jackson databind will implicitly include core and annotations. Hence if we have difference in versions, it will also cause issues. Either we add exclusions or do not specify core & annotations if we specify databind.
2) Jackson: There is a new class InvalidDefinitionException in 2.9.4 version only which caused me some issues.
