Question

The same code works fine if i use builtin tomcat server.

Answer 1

I get this problem too, it looks like springbatch 4.3.0 has introduced a dependency on jackson databind 2.11.

Here's the spring commit: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/commit/9a79b4572d0aa4bec38fe90957c850920b7f9cea

And the databind commit: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/commit/fa402574f99daa10410682160365df0867abe4d4

-> So need to downgrade to 4.2.x or upgrade jackson to 2.11

(Updated: Commit was introduced in springbatch 4.3.0, not 4.3.1)
