This is my error message which is coming:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getVirtualServerName()Ljava/lang/String;

I had a similar problem (Sprint Boot 1.5 and Kettle 8) and I found out the problem/conflict is with kettle-core and kettle-engine.
I excluded slf4j and servlet in those dependencies:
<!-- Pentaho Kettle -->

Situation
I had an similar issue with my server application using Spring Boot 2.2.6.RELEASE, but it was not the fault of Spring boot, but my usage of Wiremock for testing in combination with starting my application inside an IDE:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getHttpServletMapping()Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletMapping;
at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest.setRequest(ApplicationHttpRequest.java:708)
at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest.<init>(ApplicationHttpRequest.java:114)
...
org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.TaskThread$WrappingRunnable.run(TaskThread.java:61)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)
My application works even with those exceptions, but for testing and debugging I do not want to have those distractions and would prefer to avoid them.
Details
WireMock (e.g. 2.26.3) uses internally Jetty 9. But Jetty does not include internally Servlet API 4 but 3 and there seems to be not much progress, even for jetty 10/11 etc. - see https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/issues/4578
IDE start
So when starting an IDE which does not separate automatically between runtime dependencies and test dependencies, you will have Jetty included Servlet 3 API in your classpath!
Server start by jar
In my integration tests where my application was started with runtime dependencies only, I did not have any of those exceptions, because having no jetty dependencies.
Solution
So in my case I got three possibilities to solve the problem for IDE starts:
change classpath ordering in IDE launch configuration
separate my dependencies so project used for server start does no have dependencies also in IDE, or
switch Spring Boot Web start dependency from tomcat to jetty ...

Like #user1695936 said:
The problem is that mondrian includes an older version of servlet-ap (v2.4) that does not have the method getVirtualServerName()
Check for dependencies with javax.servlet with this:
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=javax.servlet
pentaho:mondrian:jar:8.3.0.0-371:compile
| +- javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:2.4:compile
| \- javax.servlet:jsp-api:jar:2.0:compile
and exclude the old versions like the example below:
<dependency>
<groupId>pentaho-kettle</groupId>
<artifactId>kettle-engine</artifactId>
<version>${pentaho-kettle.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

Spring Boot and Logback: Exception thrown from ApplicationListener handling ContextClosedEvent

The application works fine, but this exception is thrown at the end of the operation. I have tried to find anything related, but those solutions do not help my case...

I had this same problem with my Spring Boot 1.5.2 application. Upgrading both logback-core and logback-classic to at least version 1.1.3 fixed it.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder

We're trying to initialize a hibernate database in our Vaadin-project but it throws the following error.
We've been searching for several days, but no solution has worked so far and we are out of ideas. Hope anybody can help.
We are using NetBeans.
Schwerwiegend: SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
Schwerwiegend: SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

I've seen problem in your .pom file. "maven install" fails with your .pom file, but after the updates below, "maven install" works fine;
Just remove the dependency below, maven install is failed with this one;
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>
<version>1.7.13</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Simply, update your .pom file (or copy/paste the updated .pom just down below) and then, run maven clean and maven install on the project directory via command line.
I've just run your pom file without the dependency slf4j-api with version 1.7.13 and maven install successfully worked [BUILD SUCCESS]

In my case I got the same exception but the cause was totally different.
I was loading all the dependencies with the latest version i.e. 1.3.0-alpha4. In my case had to to use older version to 1.2.3.
Below is the working dependence for me -

Guessing without seeing your Spring application context, but I would venture a guess that you are missing some entries.
http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/data-neo4j/docs/current/reference/html/setup.html
Something along these lines in your app context?
<neo4j:repositories base-package="com.xyz.repositories"/>
<neo4j:config base-package="com.xyz"
graphDatabaseService="graphDatabaseService"
/>
<bean id="graphDatabaseService"
class="org.springframework.data.neo4j.rest.SpringRestGraphDatabase">
<constructor-arg index="0" value="http://your_url_here:7474/db/data"/>
<constructor-arg index="1" value="your_user"/>
<constructor-arg index="2" value="your_password"/>
</bean>

I solved the problem by changing the version element in porm.xml from "1.0.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT" to 0.0.1 but I don't understand what exactly happens coz I'm not familiar with maven but i think there are some JARs that have been downloaded when i changed the version element.
This is my porm.xml in case you want to use it :

I bumped into a similar error and took me some time to figure that the problem was in the properties file.
When you're using sdn-rx, you can't use spring.data properties so it would appear. Instead:

Try this exclusion, it worked for me:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.weld</groupId>
<artifactId>weld-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.4.Final</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.el</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-el-api_3.0_spec</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

I found the weld-servlet-2.0.1.Final will not be loaded because it has an offending package javax.el bundled. Use weld-servlet-2.0.0.SP1 .
