Root Cause

Spring boot loads all the java classes using java reflection. The BeanFactory class loads all the beans. If any error occurred while loading a bean in BeanFactory due to reflection, this exception will be thrown.

This error is due to Caused by: java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem It is due to mismatch of java compilation and execution. This error can’t be reproduced.



Solution 1

This issue is due to timing mismatch of java compilation and java execution of a java class. In most of the case, if you restart the application, this issue will be resolved.

If it is not resolved in restart, clean and rebuild the application will resolve this issue.



Solution 2

This issue might occur due to auto configuration. If this issue occurs randomly, then revisit on this dependency.

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
            <optional>true</optional>
        </dependency>
