How to solve "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.util.ReflectionUtils.accessibleConstructor"

I'm replacing lagecy's gradle project with boot's maven project.
There is no error, but when i run Tomcat server, the following error is
displayed.
i tried these....
pom.xml spring-context remove -> failed
spring boot version downgrade 2.1.9 --> 2.0.4 -> failed
i made dependency spring core, spring context same version -> failed
Error during ServletContainerInitializer processing

How should it work?

I suggest that you run the following at command line
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.springframework.*
You should then look at all the spring dependency versions. I'm guessing you have some version mismatches which you'll need to fix.

Posting this because my solution was different and took forever to find.
In my case it seemed to have been a conflict in multiple dependencies having that method.
By grepping my project folder for the name of the method, I could see what jars it was present in.
grep -r "ReflectionUtils" myProjectDirectory/
Result: (only listing spring ones)
Binary file myProjectDirectory//target/myProjectDirectory/WEB-INF/lib/spring-core-5.3.15.jar matches
Binary file myProjectDirectory//target/myProjectDirectory/WEB-INF/lib/org.springframework.core-3.2.4.jar matches
I used mvn dependency:tree to track where org.springframework.core-3.2.4.jar was coming from, and it was under a dependency called "org.springframework.beans"
I went to pom.xml and removed the springframework.beans dependency, replaced with spring-beans 5.3.9, clean installed, and reran grep. Result was now:
Binary file myProjectDirectory//target/myProjectDirectory/WEB-INF/lib/spring-core-5.3.15.jar matches
From there I ran on tomcat and issue no longer appeared. It may be a unique circumstance but it was the only thing I could get to work after scouring threads everywhere.

Apache Beam Maven Dependency Error

I am attempting to use Apache Beam from Java as a data pipeline of sorts. I have written a simple class that sources from Google Pubsub and sinks to Google Bigquery, but I cannot get it to build for the life of me. I am using Maven to build and have added every Beam package I could find, but I still get "class file not found" errors.
Specifically:
[ERROR] /X:/Work/pipeline/backup-pipeline/src/main/java/PassthroughPipeline.java:[28,16] cannot access org.apache.beam.sdk.options.GcpOptions
class file for org.apache.beam.sdk.options.GcpOptions not found
[ERROR] /X:/Work/pipeline/backup-pipeline/src/main/java/PassthroughPipeline.java:[29,16] cannot access org.apache.beam.sdk.options.BigQueryOptions
class file for org.apache.beam.sdk.options.BigQueryOptions not found
[ERROR] /X:/Work/pipeline/backup-pipeline/src/main/java/PassthroughPipeline.java:[31,16] cannot access org.apache.beam.sdk.options.GcsOptions
class file for org.apache.beam.sdk.options.GcsOptions not found
Does anyone know what packages I need to add to resolve these? Google has unfortunately been no help.
The POM file that I have is based off of the example POM given by Apache for Wordcount, but with extra dependencies added. Below are the dependencies I put in it. I can provide the full file if needed, but it is quite monolithic.

These classes:
org.apache.beam.sdk.options.GcpOptions
org.apache.beam.sdk.options.GcsOptions
org.apache.beam.sdk.options.BigQueryOptions
... are all in an earlier version of Apache Beam.
Given the dependencies in your pom.xml (specifically, the dependency on v2.2.0 of Apache Beam) the correct imports are:
org.apache.beam.sdk.extensions.gcp.options.GcpOptions
org.apache.beam.sdk.extensions.gcp.options.GcsOptions

Sorry for posting it here as I dont have reps to add it in a comment.
Please remove the older version of spring if you want to use a new version.
It is a very bad idea to have multiple versions of spring in one application.
You will spend hours and hours of wasting time for solving magical errors occurs with your application just because of two versions of spring jars.

I came across with the same issue and I used the Maven Dependency BOM. It works perfect. The ---Version---Number is the Spring Framework version you are using in your project.

Maven: slf4 jars with different versions are added after pom compile, and war gets version conflict error because of that

I am having issue with my pom. Even when I am not adding any dependancy in the pom, in war I am getting:
1. slf4j-api-1.5.11.jar
2. slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
3. slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
Issue: due to this My war doesn't run on the server and gets error regarding conflict. I need to resolve this issue.
Manual Solution: I remove the slf4j-api-1.5.11.jar manually from the war and it starts running on the server.
Can you please help me to avoid this manual solution and My pom is it self handles it. I also used exclusion, but of no vain.
looking forward to your help

You can use dependency management to ensure that every slf4j dependencies are aligned.
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.7.12</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-IMPL-THAT-YOU-WANT</artifactId>
<version>1.7.12</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
To know which dependency requires and import slf4j, you can use:
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose

While YMomb's answer should work (and its easy), you can also explicitly exclude transitive dependencies from a dependency.
To find which dependencies consist org.slf4j as a transitive dependency, run
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.slf4j:*
This will give you something like , ( at least it gave me from above of your dependencies)
[INFO] - org.quartz-scheduler:quartz:jar:2.1.7:compile [INFO]
org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.1:compile
Means 'quartz' has it, exclude the org.slf4j from it.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.quartz-scheduler</groupId>
<artifactId>quartz</artifactId>
<version>2.1.7</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
you may to do it for all the dependencies which contains slf4j. then you can define your desired version of slf4j and use it
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.6.5</version>
</dependency>
