Solution

  • Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.core.convert.converter.ConverterRegistry.addConverter(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/Class;Lorg/springframework/core/convert/converter/Converter;)

    Looks like you have there some old spring-core jar in the classpath, which is loaded before your own dependencies:

    ConverterRegistry

    /**
 * Add a plain converter to this registry.
 * The convertible sourceType/targetType pair is specified explicitly.
 * Allows for a Converter to be reused for multiple distinct pairs without having to create a Converter class for each pair.
 * @since 3.1
 */
void addConverter(Class<?> sourceType, Class<?> targetType, Converter<?, ?> converter);

    Pay attention to the @since 3.1. So you should clean Tomcat classpath from those pre-3.1 Spring jars.

    UPDATE

    Try to use -verbose:class for the JVM (Tomcat) run to determine which version and from where the ConverterRegistry class is loaded: https://dzone.com/articles/how-use-verbose-options-java
