not able to deploy spring boot in weblogic

Question

I am trying to run a spring boot application in weblogic server 12.1.3 but getting below error

Blockquoteweblogic.application.ModuleException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.core.annotation.AnnotationAwareOrderComparator.sort(Ljava/util/List;)V at weblogic.application.internal.ExtensibleModuleWrapper.start(ExtensibleModuleWrapper.java:140) at weblogic.application.internal.flow.ModuleListenerInvoker.start(ModuleListenerInvoker.java:124) at weblogic.application.internal.flow.ModuleStateDriver$3.next(ModuleStateDriver.java:216) at weblogic.application.internal.flow.ModuleStateDriver$3.next(ModuleStateDriver.java:211) at weblogic.application.utils.StateMachineDriver.nextState(StateMachineDriver.java:42) Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace Caused By: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.core.annotation.AnnotationAwareOrderComparator.sort(Ljava/util/List;)V at org.springframework.web.SpringServletContainerInitializer.onStartup(SpringServletContainerInitializer.java:167) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.initContainerInitializer(WebAppServletContext.java:1394) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.initContainerInitializers(WebAppServletContext.java:1331) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.initContainerInitializers(WebAppServletContext.java:1317) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.preloadResources(WebAppServletContext.java:1834) Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace

looks like you have somehow different version of spring dependency, can you post your pom/gradle file — Jaiwo99
weblogic ships with an older version of Spring. Add a deployment descriptor to tell for which packages to use the application version instead of the server provided version. See also stackoverflow.com/questions/27005130/… — M. Deinum

you will need to add weblogic.xml under webapp/WEB-INF :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
