Spring boot getting java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid code lengths set

Question

I am using Spring boot 2.1.1.RELEASE and castor 1.2. It starts fine, works as expected for few hours and then suddenly it starts getting the below error -

o.c.c.u.Configuration                    : Failed to load configuration from classpath: /org/castor/core/castor.core.properties
java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid code lengths set

The jar is present inside BOOT-INF\lib\castor-1.2.jar\

Do we need to place /org/castor/core/castor.core.properties somewhere in the classpath to resolve this issue? Please suggest

Answer 1

Normally there should be a default properties file. As the manual says on https://castor-data-binding.github.io/castor/reference-guide/reference/xml/xml-properties.html you can provide that file in the classpath.
