What about the package and import statements in your code?

1 Answer

OK, I figured it out,

1st:

in gradle build I need to use different spring boot that is spring-boot-starter-web and not spring-boot-starter

, and also not use dependancy on framework - IE

dependencies {
 //   compile group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-webmvc', version: '4.3.5.RELEASE'
    compile group: 'commons-logging', name: 'commons-logging', version: '1.2'
    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-web
    compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-web', version: '1.4.3.RELEASE'
}

2nd:

tomcat embedded requires env variable for a temp directory, since I omitted inheriting parent env variables then it decided that C:\WINDOWS was a good temp directory and permissions do not exist for write at that location

so make sure you have TMP or TEMP set to something writeable

Thank you!!!

I was stuck on this for hours trying to figure out why I was missing tomcat. It turned out that I had the same problem.
