Why HATEOAS starts creating issue for spring-boot version >= 2.2.x during startup with Swagger 2.x?

Question

I moved my project from spring-boot 2.1.9 to 2.2.0.

While starting the project, I am facing the below error messages.

Caused by: org.sprin         


        

Answer 1

Resolved it, it was happening due to integration when Swagger + HATEOAS was used with Spring Boot 2.2.4.RELEASE

}
