Spring Boot application fails to launch after upgrade from 1.3.3 to 1.3.5. Spring is unable to start embedded container (Tomcat 8) and following error message is displayed:
org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start embedded container; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'embeddedServletContainerFactory': Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [wad.config.HttpsConfiguration$1]: No default constructor found; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: wad.config.HttpsConfiguration$1.()
Basically this error message says it can't create the embeddedServletContainerFactory, but it's not clear to me what [wad.config.HttpsConfiguration$1] refers to. The Java configuration class itself is in package wad.config and named HttpsConfiguration.
I tried to add empty constructor to my HttpsConfiguration.java but it didn't help.
Here are the relevant parts of my POM:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.3.5.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath/>
</parent>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>

<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
My Application class:
@EntityScan(
basePackageClasses = {Application.class, Jsr310JpaConverters.class}
)
@SpringBootApplication
@Import({DevProfile.class})
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
And here is my configuration for port redirect from 8080 -> 8443 (configurable via application.properties):
@Configuration
public class HttpsConfiguration {
@Value("${server.port}")
private int httpsPort;
@Value("${server.port.http}")
private int httpPort;
@Bean
public EmbeddedServletContainerFactory servletContainer() {
TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory tomcat = new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory() {
@Override
protected void postProcessContext(Context context) {
SecurityConstraint securityConstraint = new SecurityConstraint();
securityConstraint.setUserConstraint("CONFIDENTIAL");
SecurityCollection collection = new SecurityCollection();
collection.addPattern("/*");
securityConstraint.addCollection(collection);
context.addConstraint(securityConstraint);
}
};
tomcat.addAdditionalTomcatConnectors(initiateHttpConnector());
return tomcat;
}
// redirect from (http) port to (https) if https is enabled.
private Connector initiateHttpConnector() {
Connector connector = new Connector("org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol");
connector.setScheme("http");
connector.setPort(httpPort);
connector.setSecure(false);
connector.setRedirectPort(httpsPort);
return connector;
}
application.properties config:
...
#Actuator port
management.port = 9001
#HTTPS port
server.port=8443
#HTTP port
server.port.http=8080
#Enable SSL
server.ssl.enabled=true
...
Update:
Issue can be reproduced with Spring Boot 1.3.5 project configured with the above POM, application.properties and HttpSecurity & Application classes.
