Hello there!

I’m using Spring Boot 2.1.8 + Java 1.8 + DWR 3.0.2 and I am facing this error below:

In the development environment works well, without any error, but when I send to the Heroku the error appears.I have been testing previous versions of Spring Boot 2 and the same error remains.

It was fixed here https://github.com/directwebremoting/dwr/issues/2.

Not in any release yet so you need to build your own dwr.jar from source.
