Q:

Grails 3.3.0.RC Deployment Issue on Tomcat

When I try to deploy my application after upgrade from 3.2.9 to 3.3.0.RC1 (which works fine in my local environment) I occur following error message.
I tried in tomcat 8.0.20, 8.0.28, and 8.5.16. Does anybody has an idea what possibly went wrong? 
Feel free to ask for further information.

Thanks a lot in advance!
EDIT: I append my build.gradle file. Maybe this helps to solve the problem.

A:

FYI: Had the same problem with Grails 3.3.2
My workaround solution was:
compile ('org.grails.plugins:quartz-monitor:1.3'){
    exclude group: 'org.grails.plugins', module: 'asset-pipeline'
}

Because the quartz-monitor plugin has a old version of asset-pipeline dependency inside.
