Getting NoSuchMethodError (DestinationAccessor) when launching Spring Boot project with generated Java VDM - sap-cloud-sdk

Question

I'm building a Spring Boot project making use of S/4HANA custom OData Service and Java VDM. I have been following various tutorials on SAP Blog, developer.sap.com or S4H13 course - the approach is pretty much the same. I managed to successfully generate VDM for my Custom OData Service based on the edmx file, created all necessary commands, methods in the controller and so on.
Unfortunately, I'm encountering an issue when launching the project locally.
I use the following command first: mvn clean package and later, when I'm in the application directory want to run the project: mvn spring-boot:run.
The project build fails with the following errors and exceptions:
2020-07-31 12:45:20.941 ERROR 70176 --- [main] o.a.c.c.C.[Tomcat].[localhost].[/] : Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class [com.sap.cloud.sdk.s4hana.connectivity.ErpDestination]

2020-07-31 12:45:21.423 ERROR 70176 --- [main] o.s.boot.SpringApplication: Application run failed
I give the full stack trace below.
The project was creates using the following archetype:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.sap.cloud.sdk.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=scp-cf-spring -DarchetypeVersion=RELEASE
I guess that the cause may lie in the Maven dependencies. Firstly, I used the versions of maven plugins from the blog: https://blogs.sap.com/2018/04/30/deep-dive-10-with-sap-s4hana-cloud-sdk-generating-java-vdm-for-s4hana-custom-odata-service/
Later, I also changed them to the most up-to-date dependencies, but the problem still persists.
Before adding required dependencies and generating vdm, the project launched successfully.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
pom.xml file:
I removed the project name and replaced it with 'Spring-Project'

Answer 1

Please find the outdated dependency in your dependency tree:
com.sap.cloud.s4hana.datamodel:odata-api:jar:2.9.1:compile
I think you could remove this dependency altogether, when not accessing the types directly.
Or switch to the successor:
com.sap.cloud.sdk.datamodel:odata-core:3.23.0:compile
For more information on updating the SDK from 2 to 3, please find the page on Maven Dependencies. It's part of the official SAP Cloud SDK documentation.
