An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:
org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.EntityBinder.processComplementaryTableDefinitions(EntityBinder.java:1238)
The following method did not exist:
javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index;
The method's class, javax.persistence.Table, is available from the following locations:
jar:file:/C:/Users/INTEL/Desktop/timetablesystem/lib/javax.persistence.jar!/javax/persistence/Table.class
jar:file:/C:/Users/INTEL/.m2/repository/jakarta/persistence/jakarta.persistence-api/2.2.3/jakarta.persistence-api-2.2.3.jar!/javax/persistence/Table.class
The class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:
javax.persistence.Table: file:/C:/Users/INTEL/Desktop/timetablesystem/lib/javax.persistence.jar
Action:
Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of javax.persistence.Table

You need to remove C:/Users/INTEL/Desktop/timetablesystem/lib/javax.persistence.jar from the classpath of your application as it contains an old version of the Java Persistence API that is incompatible with the version of Spring Boot that you're using. Exactly how that should be done depends on how you're running your application.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.logging.AutoConfigurationReportLoggingInitializer

I was trying to run a JAR file for the project, but the following error shows up :
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.logging.AutoConfigurationReportLoggingInitializer
I tried to look for the class manually within my libraries, but the class was not present. It seems the specific class is not present in the current version of spring-boot-starter-web. Below is the POM for the project

I added my project folder resources/META-INFO/spring.factories. After that, I got the same error above. I remove the folder and my project starts well!

Try adding the following dependency :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>2.1.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
The dependency spring-boot-starter includes the dependencies for logging spring-boot-starter-logging, which has the class org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.logging.AutoConfigurationReportLoggingInitializer

Properly terminate Spring Boot and Tomcat if initialization of AppContext fails

When I start Spring Boot application on embedded Tomcat and something fails during startup (for instance there is no connection to DB or Liquibase update fails or circular dependency found, etc), Tomcat continues listening on 8080 port.
If I send HTTP request to some endpoint, an application returns 404 NOT FOUND.
Is this expected behavior (should Tomcat continue listening)?
How to stop Spring Boot and Tomcat when initialization of the application context fails?
Here EXAMPLE of the log:
org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start embedded container; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'tomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/EmbeddedServletContainerAutoConfiguration$EmbeddedTomcat.class]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'serverProperties' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/ServerPropertiesAutoConfiguration.class]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is javax.validation.ValidationException: Unable to instantiate Configuration.

UPD 2
Application.java:
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "com.test")
#EnableCaching
#EnableScheduling
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
public Application() {
}
public static void main(final String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}

There could be 2 scenarios in this
First Scenario
Application is up and running , the App Context is created and then some runtime exception occurs in the server and you want to do a graceful shutdown. In this scenario, you can use an utility like Spring boot Graceful shutdown
Scenario 2:
This is the scenario which occurs when Spring Boot is unable to create the Application context itself. Your scenario falls into this category. When application boots up, it tries to wire up the configurations from the application.properties and if there are any issues, the application context itself would not be created
Hence in this scenario , you cannot opt for a graceful shutdown as you don't have an instance of Application context. In such cases, you can catch the exception, choose appropriate logging and do a system exit manually
try{
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args).close();;
}
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println("Going to exit");
System.exit(-1);
}
After this, Tomcat instance will not be running and Port would be available to use

The thing is that I know where the issue is coming from. It's from my Behave dependency in the pom file. I tested it by commenting it out and it then runs. Here is my pom file so you can look at it.

The reason for your issue is that JBehave as a dependency on FreeMarker (see deps on mvnrepository.com) which causes Spring Boots auto configuration to kick in and configure FreeMarker as your template engine. Basically you do have different options to get rid of this issue
Do what the error states and add spring.freemarker.checkTemplateLocation=false to your application.yml or application.properties to suppress the check for templates location. This still leaves you with the template engine configured
Disable Autoconfiguration for FreeMarker by adding the exclude option to your #SpringBootApplication like this #SpringBootApplication(exclude={FreeMarkerAutoconfiguration.class})
Create the templates folder as expected in resources.
Exclude the transient dependency on your JBehave dependency in your pom.xml as described in the documentation of Maven.
Which of those is the right decision depends on your demand and the application, e.g. if you do not need JBehave's HTML or Mail reporting functionality which uses FreeMarker it is most likely safe to go for option 4, in all other cases I personally would use option 2.
Side notes
You should always scope your dependencies properly, e.g. all of your deps for testing should correctly have a <scope>test</scope> setting as it is the case for the spring-boot-starter-test. That helps to keep the final artifact small.
I don't see a reason for what you'd need the scala dependency in your setup.
logback is the default logging framework in Spring Boot and does not have to be defined. I'm actually also not 100% sure if it is a really good idea to have two logging libs (log4j and logback) in your setup.
Is there a special reason why you not used spring-social-facebook but rather restfb instead? Does not look consistent to me.
Additionally I'm wondering about having spring-data-jpa dependency in as well as the plain spring-boot-starter-jdbc?
In general you defined a lot of your dependency explicitly whereas they are anyhow provided as a transient dependency of other requirements, e.g. hibernate would be automatically brought in by spring-data-jpa.
I personally would go for version 1.3.2 of spring-boot in your parent relationship definition. It will bring in a lot of new functionalities and should be really non-breaking.
