I'm new at spring boot and my knowledge is so limited. I had an application that works with spring boot 2.1 and I want to use the last version of spring boot, which is 2.2.6. I did what should be done, changing other dependencies versions, activating bean definition overriding ..etc But when I run the app I get this exception. any help will be very welcomed.
