Situation

I had an similar issue with my server application using Spring Boot 2.2.6.RELEASE, but it was not the fault of Spring boot, but my usage of Wiremock for testing in combination with starting my application inside an IDE:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getHttpServletMapping()Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletMapping;
    at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest.setRequest(ApplicationHttpRequest.java:708)
    at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest.<init>(ApplicationHttpRequest.java:114)
    ...
org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.TaskThread$WrappingRunnable.run(TaskThread.java:61)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

My application works even with those exceptions, but for testing and debugging I do not want to have those distractions and would prefer to avoid them.

Details

WireMock (e.g. 2.26.3) uses internally Jetty 9. But Jetty does not include internally Servlet API 4 but 3 and there seems to be not much progress, even for jetty 10/11 etc. - see https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/issues/4578

IDE start

So when starting an IDE which does not separate automatically between runtime dependencies and test dependencies, you will have Jetty included Servlet 3 API in your classpath!

Server start by jar

In my integration tests where my application was started with runtime dependencies only, I did not have any of those exceptions, because having no jetty dependencies.

Solution

So in my case I got three possibilities to solve the problem for IDE starts:

change classpath ordering in IDE launch configuration
separate my dependencies so project used for server start does no have dependencies also in IDE, or
switch Spring Boot Web start dependency from tomcat to jetty ...

Like @user1695936 said: The problem is that mondrian includes an older version of servlet-ap (v2.4) that does not have the method getVirtualServerName()

Check for dependencies with javax.servlet with this:

mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=javax.servlet

pentaho:mondrian:jar:8.3.0.0-371:compile
       |  +- javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:2.4:compile
       |  \- javax.servlet:jsp-api:jar:2.0:compile

and exclude the old versions like the example below:

<dependency>
    <groupId>pentaho-kettle</groupId>
    <artifactId>kettle-engine</artifactId>
    <version>${pentaho-kettle.version}</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
            <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

I had a similar problem (Sprint Boot 1.5 and Kettle 8) and I found out the problem/conflict is with kettle-core and kettle-engine.

I excluded slf4j and servlet in those dependencies:
