Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot instantiate interface org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener

Question

it's my first ask on stack. On the beginning I want to notice that my English is terrible. I'm writing program in Java which has to read file and send content to the localhost:8083/list, but this is one of the modules. my pom.xml look like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</project>

my Appliaction.java looks like this

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

my controller

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;

@Controller
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class ListController {
    @RequestMapping("/list")
    @ResponseBody
    class Lista {
        MainList list = new MainList();
    }
}

and finnaly my program

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;


public class MainList {
    public static int zwracanie(String[] args) throws IOException {
            String filePath = "C:\\Users\\Antoni\\Desktop\\Lista.txt";
            int number = 0;
            BufferedReader fileReader = null;

            try {
                fileReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filePath));
                String numberAsString = fileReader.readLine();
                number = Integer.parseInt(numberAsString);
            } finally {
                if (fileReader != null) {
                    fileReader.close();
                }
            }
            return number;
        }
    }

I'm working in IntelliJ Idea and when I try to compile this file there's problem

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot instantiate interface org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener : org.springframework.boot.context.logging.ClasspathLoggingApplicationListener at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.createSpringFactoriesInstances(SpringApplication.java:448) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.getSpringFactoriesInstances(SpringApplication.java:427) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.getSpringFactoriesInstances(SpringApplication.java:418) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.(SpringApplication.java:268) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.(SpringApplication.java:247) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:1255) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:1243) at Application.main(Application.java:8) Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/context/event/GenericApplicationListener at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:1009) at java.base/java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:174) at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.defineClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:801) at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.findClassOnClassPathOrNull(BuiltinClassLoader.java:699) at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClassOrNull(BuiltinClassLoader.java:622) at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:580) at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:190) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:499) at org.springframework.util.ClassUtils.forName(ClassUtils.java:274) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.createSpringFactoriesInstances(SpringApplication.java:440) ... 7 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.context.event.GenericApplicationListener at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:582) at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:190) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:499) ... 18 more

Welcome to SOF. Can you please add the dependency tree for your project to the question? mvn dependency:tree — dpr

Please note: the important part of that stack trace is the line that says Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/context/event/GenericApplicationListener . — GhostCat

Plus: learn the difference between I compile time error, and a runtime exception. Those are two very different things, and honestly: a person who doesn't know the difference should spent some time studying these basics, instead of working with large complex frameworks such as spring. — GhostCat

Remove the dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-framework-bom</artifactId>
</dependency>

You added that with the version 4.0.3.RELEASE, which creates a version conflict with the versions managed by Spring Boot.
