I created a simple springboot project from Spring Initializr. when starting springboot project from intellij, I am getting below exception but when running from terminal using maven I don't get any exception(mvn spring-boot:run).I tried solving this by adding below to my pom.xml, but after I was getting some other exceptions and solve that I get some more exception. Please tell anyone of you were able to solve this.

Thank you

Springboot project runs fine when running from terminal using command mvn spring-boot:run

Running from Intellij is when I was getting an exception. I changed the spring-boot-starter-tomcat in pom.xml to an older version and it runs without any exception. I think the issue was with compatibly for latest maven embed tomcat 1.2.5.RELEASE.

Now I am using below in my pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
