Spring boot 1.2.5.RELEASE incompatible with OpenShift Tomcat 7

Question

update: Log Files from deployment with 1.2.5.RELEASE are below.

I want to deploy my Spring Boot Application to a Tomcat 7 on OpenShift.

This works fine with the spring-boot-starter-parent Version 1.1.12.RELEASE. (Demo Ping service is responding). But when I change the Version to 1.2.5.RELEASE (current realease) I get a HTTP 404 Error on my ping Service (build and deployment does not show any error message). I want to use 1.2.5.RELEASE because I want to extend my Application to Send Emails with

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-mail</artifactId>
    </dependency>

this requires 1.2.5.RELEASE. On 1.1.12.RELEASE I get the Error:

Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-mail:jar is missing.

Could someone please help me to fix this.

I am confused. The mail starter does not exist in 1.1.x so the error you're having is to be expected. I can't think of one reason why a successful deployment of your app would lead to a 404 with 1.2 and not with 1.1. Can you share some logs? — Stephane Nicoll
@StéphaneNicoll: I added the logs from the failing deployment. — Simulant
I had some trouble getting the logs from the cloud in the first place. The git commit to OpenShift shows the deployment progress and there where no errors shown. But now I got it. — Simulant

Alright I fixed it: All I had to do was moving my Main Class in a declared package.

The way I came to this:

I added the dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>

And in the application.properties:

security.basic.enabled=false
management.security.enabled=false

As reported by this Bug: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/2124 But this is fixed in 1.2.5 so this was not the reason.

Afterwards I got a new Error:

    ... 25 common frames omitted

This was fixed by moving my Main Class Application.java from the default package into any other declared package.

This Bug report helped my: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/2050 also it is not the reason because the Bug is about WebConfigurationAdapter and my Stacktrace is about RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration.

Now my Ping is working with spring boot 1.2.5.RELEASE.

I could even remove the spring-boot-starter-security dependency and it is still working, so the only reason it did not work was that my Main Class was in the default package.

I hope it still works with the other packages I want to add.

Spring boot 1.2.5.RELEASE incompatible with OpenShift Tomcat 7
