Comment From: snicoll

Thanks for the sample. That project does not exhibit that exception for me and my best guess is that a jar got corrupted when you upgraded to Spring Boot 2. You can run mvn dependency:purge-local-repository or remove those jars from your local maven cache (~/.m2/repository).

Comment From: snicoll

@ghostman-git thanks for the feedback. The activiti starter you're using has no support for Spring Boot 2. Please review the compatibility of 3rd party starters before upgrading.

Comment From: ghostman-git

Thanks for your guidance. I just contacted spring boot2. Could you please provide a view link?
