[FIXED] ApplicationContextException: Unable to start ServletWebServerApplicationContext due to missing ServletWebServerFactory bean

Issue

I have written a spring batch application using Spring boot. When I am trying to run that application using command line and classpath on my local system it is running fine. However, when I tried to run it on linux server it is giving me following exception

Unable to start web server; nested exception is
org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: 
Unable to start ServletWebServerApplicationContext due to missing ServletWebServerFactory bean.

Below is the way I am running it:

java -cp jarFileName.jar; lib\* -Dlogging.level.org.springframework=DEBUG -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -Dspring.batch.job.names=abcBatchJob com.aa.bb.StartSpringBatch > somelogs.log

Solution

The solution is:

I explicitly set the below property to none in application.yml file.

spring:
  main:
    web-application-type: none
