Answer 1

The question is quite old but I'll share my answer in case someone stumbles upon this. I had exact same problem and the cause was incorrect configuration of logback in logback-spring.xml.

If you're using logback (it's used by default in Spring Boot), try commenting the whole configuration out and un-comment it step by step. It sounds tedious but that's what worked for me.

To show some examples of my misconfiguration:

<logger name="org.apache.camel.component.file" level="error"additivity="false">

is supposed to be

<logger name="org.apache.camel.component.file" level="error" additivity="false">

    <appender name="..." class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        ...

        <rollingPolicy
                class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
            ...
            <triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
                <maxFileSize>10MB</maxFileSize>
            </triggeringPolicy>
        </rollingPolicy>

    </appender>

is supposed to be

    <appender name="..." class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        ...

        <rollingPolicy
                class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
            ...

        </rollingPolicy>

        <triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
            <maxFileSize>10MB</maxFileSize>
        </triggeringPolicy>

    </appender>
