I have an image based on tomcat jre11 with the activemq war for geoserver. I can run the image in my local docker or on my EKS cluster no problem. However when I run it on another managed Kubernetes cluster the war file fails to deploy.
I copy-pasted the full pods' log further down below... As you can see the error appears to be a class loading type of issue?
ERROR ContextLoader - Context initialization failed
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: class org.springframework.asm.commons.EmptyVisitor can not implement org.springframework.asm.ClassVisitor, because it is not an interfaceWhat's really puzzling is that exact same image run perfectly fine in another k8s cluster! How is that possible?

You should check all dependencies with Maven’s command mvn dependency:tree <br>
Ways of fixing it:-
Define the Spring data dependency <b>AFTER</b> the Spring related dependencies. Maven transitive dependencies will fetch the correct Spring dependencies automatically.
According to a similar issue here
<h2>About java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError</h2>In simple terms:-<br> It only happens when trying to load a class that is known to be derived from an interface which is registered as a class. If there is no such load even if the offending class exists in the classpath their will be no exceptions. This is mainly due to the fact that java loads class if there is use for such a class in runtime or customarily by the programmer. In this case it implies that either the class in the context of the exception is either loaded customarily or used while in the other context not. This is basically the explanation.
