I have a springboot 3.x project to test a simple sso with Azure AD. The project runs completely fine with the embedded server. When I try to run the same on Tomcat 10, with the JAR packaging it works fine but with WAR packaging we are getting the below error. I tried running with Tomcat 9 initially, the application did not boot up at all so on searching found that Springboot 3.x onwards we need to use Tomcat10

Could you please help me out? Thanks in advance!
Try removing tomcat dependency from pom.
And for lombok define the version
<version>1.18.30</version>
