'Getting java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.cglib.core.ReflectUtils.defineClass while inserting data in mongo using Spring MongoTemplate

I am trying to insert some data (List of Objects) into mongoDB using Spring MongoTemplate and I am getting an exception:

14:08:04.430 [main] DEBUG org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.MongoPersistentEntityIndexCreator - Analyzing class class Child1 for index information.

Data is actually an Object which is created using builder pattern something like:

abstract public class Parent <? extends Parent<?>> {
      private String parentId;
      public String getParentId(){
        return parentId;
      }
      public B setParentId(String parentId){
        this.parentId=parentId;
      }
      abstract B self() {};
}

Child class:

public class Child1 extends Parent<Child1> {
      private String childId;
      public String getChildId(){
        return childId;
      }
      public Child1 setChildId(String childId){
        this.childId=childId;
      }
      public Child1 self() {
        return this;
      };
}

Second Child class:

public class Child2 extends Parent<Child2> {
    private String childId;
    private String childValue;

    public String getChildId(){
        return childId;
    }

    public Child2 setChildId(String childId){
        this.childId=childId;
    }

    public String getChildValue(){
        return childValue;
    }

    public Child2 setChildValue(String childValue){
        this.childValue=childValue;
    }

    public Child2 self() {
        return this;
    }
}

MongoUtil and Main class:

public class MongoUtil {

    @Autowired
    MongoTemplate mongoTemplate;

    public static void persistToMongo(List<? extends Parent<?>> listOfObjects, String collectionName) {

        //Here the exception is thrown.
        mongoTemplate.insert(listOfObjects, collectionName);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Child1 child1 = new Child1().setChildId("id1").setParentId("parentId1");
        List<Child1> child1List = new ArrayList<>();
        child1List.add(child1);

        MongoUtil.persistToMongo(child1List, "someCollection");

        Child2 child2 = new Child2().setChildId("id2").setParentId("parentId2").setChildValue("val2");
        List<Child1> child2List = new ArrayList<>();
        child2List.add(child1);

        MongoUtil.persistToMongo(child2List, "someCollection");

    }
}

If I try with normal extends class without any Generics, it works fine but then I will have to trade off with builder pattern and in my class I have way too many members and builder pattern makes using them easily. Moreover, I don't want to create separate methods of persistToMongo to take List<Child1> and List<Child2> separately.

Any help will be appreciated!.

Thanks, Ashit

Solution 1:[1]

I also encountered this problem and removed the spring-core dependency.

Solution 2:[2]

There was some dependency conflict problem because of which it was not happening. After resolving that, I am able to insert the documents now.
