Java (Spring Boot) - IllegalStateException: Unable to load cache item

Question

We have a rather complex Spring Boot project and it works fine on Windows during development. However when we run the project on Ubuntu we get a bizzare exception

On Ubuntu we are using OpenJDK 11. It works on Windows with the same JDK, but it doesn't on Ubuntu. We also tried to run the project in a new Windows Sandbox instance and it worked flawlessly.

Answer 1

Check the Java version, I had the same error when I tried to run a project developed in Java 11 with Java 17.

Answer 2

Am not sure, but i think the problem caused by spring-core dependency. Can you try to remove spring-core dependency from pom.xml file and try to run it again.
