Create MongoRepository restfull API within Spring MVC application

My background is in MSFT technologies and, perhaps, that's the reason I am struggling. What I am trying to do is create a restful MongoDb web API using spring-boot within Spring MVC application. I was able to expose MongoRepository implemented methods by adding application main class and running it through the command line with "mvn spring-boot:run". However, when attempting to host the app under JBoss, I am running into a number of problems.

Currently, I am trying to address the problem with servlet-context.xml that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo-1.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd">

<!-- DispatcherServlet Context: defines this servlet's request-processing 
    infrastructure -->

<!-- Enables the Spring MVC @Controller programming model -->
<annotation-driven />

<!-- Handles HTTP GET requests for /resources/** by efficiently serving 
    up static resources in the ${webappRoot}/resources directory -->
<resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />

<!-- Resolves views selected for rendering by @Controllers to .jsp resources 
    in the /WEB-INF/views directory -->
<beans:bean
    class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <beans:property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
    <beans:property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</beans:bean>

<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="org.victar.kms" />
<mongo:repositories base-package="org.victar.kms.dal" />



<beans:bean id="mongo" class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoFactoryBean">
    <beans:property name="host" value="localhost" />
</beans:bean>

<beans:bean id="mongoTemplate"
    class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate">
    <beans:constructor-arg ref="mongoDbFactory" />
</beans:bean>

<mongo:db-factory id="mongoDbFactory" dbname="kms" host="localhost" port="27017" />

First of all, all online resources suggest that I should be using MongoFactoryBean, which is market as deprecated. Second, when I deploy the app, I get the following error: 

15:12:29,082 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/kms-mvc]] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 191) JBWEB000289: Servlet appServlet threw load() exception: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlReaderContext.getEnvironment()Lorg/springframework/core/env/Environment;

I have structured my project to somewhat close to what I am used to:

the root package ("org.victar.kms") contains the MVC controllers ...dal contains repository implementations ....models contains my entities or models

One of the repositories looks like this: 

package org.victar.kms.dal;

import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;
import org.springframework.data.rest.core.annotation.RepositoryRestResource;
import org.victar.kms.models.Subscription;

@RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = "subscriptions", path = "rest/subscriptions")
public interface SubscriptionRepository extends MongoRepository<Subscription, String> {

}

After spending a few hours researching, I went ahead and removed all of my configuration and application startup files as I felt I needed to minimize the complexity and understand the config file parsing issue. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you.

That resolved the servlet-context.xml issue. New exception is likely related to bean configuration xml/class initialization:

Thanks to Shibashis I have fixed the problem. Indeed, it was an issue with multiple jars and jars with incorrect versions included in the project. The fix to this was rather simple - downgraded the project to the previous version of spring-boot and added dependency manager.

pom.xml:

The next problem was with servlet-context.xml. Downgrading to previous version of spring-boot resolved the warnings and errors related to MongoFactoryBean being marked as deprecated. While troubleshooting I've removed class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoFactoryBean" from the bean, which later caused a problem during bean initialization.

The resulting servlet-context.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

        <beans:property name="host" value="localhost" />

    <beans:bean id="mongoTemplate"
        class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate">

    </beans:bean>

    <mongo:db-factory id="mongoDbFactory" dbname="kms" host="localhost" port="27017" />

</beans:beans>

Last but not least, my repositories were using relative path notation, which is not supported by Spring. That is, @RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = "keys", path = "api/keys") will not work. I had two options - either to rename api/keys to, say, api-keys or to use application.properties file to override spring.data.rest.base-path with my base URL. The application file below initializes my MongoDb repositories: 

package org.victar.kms;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
            SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
     }
}

Again, special thanks to Shibashis for his invaluable contribution.
