This issue got introduced when embeded tomcat version (org.apache.tomcat.embed : tomcat-embed-core) was upgraded to 10.1.2 as a part of DCAEGEN2-3355. Version 10.1.2 has dependency on Springboot-3 and Spring-6 which in turn require Java-17.

This runtime issue does not get captured while running junits.

This bug is created to change the embeded tomcat version to 9.0.72. This is the highest supported version for Spring/Sprinboot/Java versions used by the service.
