NoClassDefFoundError with Vaadin 8 Push and Spring Boot version 1.5.1

Question

I am getting the below error when Vaadin 8 Push enabled with Spring Boot version 1.5.1.RELEASE.

Here is build.gradle

buildscript {

        springBootVersion = '1.5.1.RELEASE'
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

jar {
    baseName = 'test'
    version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}


dependencies {
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jersey')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')

  compileOnly('org.projectlombok:lombok')

}

dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom "com.vaadin:vaadin-bom:8.0.0"
    }
}

If I disable compile('com.vaadin:vaadin-push'), there is no error but push does not work. Do you know how to make push work with Vaadin 8 and Spring Boot 5?

Answer 1

This issue is fixed when I upgrade to Vaadin4Spring 2.0.0.RELEASE.

compile("org.vaadin.spring.addons:vaadin-spring-addon-eventbus:2.0.0.RELEASE") compile("org.vaadin.spring.extensions:vaadin-spring-ext-security:2.0.0.RELEASE")

Answer 2

This class has been deprecated since Spring Boot 1.4 and removed in 1.5 release. Downgrade to Spring Boot 1.4.5.RELEASE and wait for Vaadin to use the correct class.
