I am trying to start my deployed application on Tomcat 10, but getting java.lang. IllegalStateException: Error starting child error in Catalina.out file. If I downgrade the Tomcat version to 9, I am able to start my application, but due to Spring Boot version 3 (JakartaEE) require Tomcat 10. But what is wrong here? I am working on multiple module rest APIs. Having three application parent, internal, model and persistence. if I run the internal with embedded tomcat server I am getting proper response.
Tomcat Home Page Error Message
FAIL - Application at context path [/Internal] could not be started
FAIL - Encountered exception [org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/Internal]]]

Finally found the solution for my problem. I downgraded the version of Spring from <version>3.3.4</version> to <version>3.0.13</version> in my parent POM.xml file. But I am not sure why it's not working for the higher version.
