Error throws java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/hateoas/Identifiable

I updated the spring boot version as 2.7.1 and Hateos as 1.5.1. Jackson-databind as 2.13.3

       `<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.hateoas</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-hateoas</artifactId>
            <version>1.5.1</version>
       </dependency>

       <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
            <version>2.7.1</version>
       </dependency>

       <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.13.3</version>
        </dependency>`

After upgrading the version, I am getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/hateoas/Identifiable exception when trying to call objectMapper.readValue method.

objectMapper.readValue(json, aClass);

aClass contains the following properties

private Links links; private Products products;

I think the problem with links properties. When I am trying to map the response with model class getting this error.

I am calling the some of the rest service with MediaType.valueOf("application/hal+json") and map with respective model class.

It worked with previous versions. Can you please guide?

Start by reviewing the declared Spring Boot, Spring HATEOAS, and Jackson versions, then trace the objectMapper.readValue(json, aClass) path with a model containing Links and Products. Done means the HAL response can be mapped without the NoClassDefFoundError and the compatible dependency combination is documented.
