Simple Spring REST service doesn't work

I am trying out Spring Boot to create a simple MongoDB REST service, but for the life of me cannot figure out why it is so resistant to start. I had these dependencies compiling at runtime with Gradle

compile('org.mongodb:bson:3.3.0')
compile 'org.mongodb:mongodb-driver:3.3.0'
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb')
compile('springframework:spring-web:1.2.6')

And the app was exiting early with some cryptic message:

Closing org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext

So then I tried to add some more dependencies to see if that would help...god, I had dependencies:

compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat")

And that resulted in an even more cryptic message:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.web.context.support.ServletContextAwareProcessor: method <init>()V not found

I feel like this process is unceccessarily complex to start such a simple service...I have done this with Express, Revel, and Django very simply, but Spring Boot just doesn't seem to make it easy. What am I missing about this process?

Thanks!

Remove

compile('springframework:spring-web:1.2.6')

from your Gradle file. This artifact is ages old. The Spring Boot dependencies bring in all necessary Spring dependencies, so it is usually not necessary, to specify Spring dependencies itself.
