I am trying to integrate graphql using spring boot 1.5.20. I have included the extended-scalars library to provide support for 'JSON' type.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.graphql-java</groupId>
<artifactId>graphql-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.graphql-java</groupId>
<artifactId>graphql-java-tools</artifactId>
<version>4.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.graphql-java</groupId>
<artifactId>graphql-java-extended-scalars</artifactId>
<version>2018-10-05T23-44-12-5312ccd</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
</dependency>
I need to make use of the scalar type json. For this, I have defined a @Bean annotated method to configure extended scalar.
@Bean
public GraphQLScalarType jsonType() {
return ExtendedScalars.Json;
}
I have also included 'scalar JSON' in the schema file.
When I add @Bean annotated method to configure extended scalar for JSON, I get 'Factory method 'jsonType' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: graphql/schema/CoercingParseLiteralException' error during application startup

Can anybody please suggest what is missing/wrong in the way I am using it? Any help is appreciated.

graphql-java-extended-scalars requires the class CoercingParseLiteralException which is introduced since graphql-java 8.0. However , you are using a very old version of graphql-java which is 6.0 , hence it does not have this class and throw NoClassDefFoundError.
The solution is to update both graphql-spring-boot-starter and graphql-java-tools versions such that they are using at the same version of graphql-java which is at least version 8.
You can use mvn dependency:tree to check which version of graphql-java is included.
