Description

Hi,

Trying to get the example to run. Running gradle war from the example directory produces a

./build/libs/spring-data-rest-example-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war

but trying to deploy this war in Tomcat gives:

path /spring-data-rest-example-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT could not be started
FAIL - Encountered exception org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/spring-data-rest-example-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT]]

catalina.out shows:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException

Docs don't seem to give any indication of how to run the example. Are they out of date? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Research direction

Start in the example directory by reviewing the Gradle WAR build and the generated build/libs/spring-data-rest-example-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war. Reproduce deployment in Tomcat and inspect catalina.out for the reported NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException. Done means the example starts successfully and the documentation explains how to build and deploy it.
