If I run with old version, everthing is fine, but when upgrading to 1.2.5 I have seen error above. How to fix this exception, thank you so much !

Try checking the related issue opened on GitHub Spring-boot issues list.

It seems that you need a newer version of Spring framework as explained on the Spring Boot 1.2 Release Note:

Spring Boot 1.2 requires Spring Framework 4.1.5 or later and is not compatible with Spring Framework 4.0.
