Spring boot aws deployment issue

Question

I deployed a spring boot war file to tomcat locally without any issue. It is running successfully. But while deploying same war to aws after running i am getting this log:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationPropertiesBindingPostProcessor': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.validation.ValidationException: Unable to instantiate Configuration.

any clue?

Answer 1

can you change

 <dependency>
    <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
    <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0.Final</version>
</dependency> 

to below, It appears to me, a version mismatch of the jar version

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
    <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>

</dependency> 

in fact with spring boot, you need not provide a version for most of the dependency as it comes from spring boot dependency management

Answer 2

I have the same probleme and when I add this it's ok

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
        <version>5.2.4.Final</version>
</dependency>

Answer 3

Please look up for following issues:

1. There should be no dependency with scope provided.For example I see

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

have scope provided. Please remove this scope.

2. There are no IAM permissions issue to allow download of the dependencies.

Also, I would suggest that you use docker container image to avoid such issues ie what image you build on local is getting promoted to higher environment.
