Hi. I'm using Spring Boot 1.5.22.RELEASE and Apache CXF 3.3.8. I'm not sure if this is a Spring or CXF issue, but when I upgraded from CXF 3.1.12 to 3.3.8, I get this error:

I'm afraid it's hard to say what could cause this error without more details. Can you share a small project that reproduces the problem?
Comment From: dsgoers
Unfortunately all our code is proprietary so I can't share any of it. Is there something else I could check or try?
Comment From: philwebb
It doesn't have to be your exact code, just any small project that can replicate the image. Other things to check are that the JDK versions match (has CXF raised the minimum requirements) and are all JAR files consistent (check that you're not mixing different Boot jar versions.
You can also try adding an exception breakpoint on MalformedParameterizedTypeException and walking up the stack to MethodParameter.getGenericParameterType to see what method parameter is actually failing.

I'm using Spring Boot 1.5.22.RELEASE
Comment From: philwebb
Thanks @spencergibb, I missed that. @dsgoers You should upgrade to a later version of Spring Boot as 1.5.x is no longer supported.
Comment From: dsgoers
Thanks. I'll upgrade my Spring Boot version ASAP. In terms of the original issue, the method in question is CxfAutoConfiguration.cxfServletRegistration, so looks like it's a CXF issue rather than a Spring one.
Comment From: dsgoers
I created an issue on the CXF page: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-8374
Comment From: philwebb
I don't think this is a CFX issue either, I rather suspect it's a version mismatch. The CxfAutoConfiguration.cxfServletRegistration method returns a ServletRegistrationBean<CXFServlet>. In Spring Boot 1.5, ServletRegistrationBean didn't have a generic type, in 2.x it does.
I suspect that if you upgrade your application to the latest Spring Boot version then you'll find the exception isn't thrown.
