I recently update to spring sts 4 so I'm not sure if something there is causing this issue because I did not have this error before.

I've made sure that that the user object being fetched from the database is a User object and should be passed into the next line of code

ERROR MESSAGE

I've tried specifying the result as flowscope or any other type of variabel but nothings works. The error is also very confusing because it's the same type just has annotations on it. Maybe it has something to do webflow config because I don't get this error anywhere else. As mentioned above i just updated to sts 4 so im going to go back to version 3 and see if thats the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

This error is somehow caused by spring dev tools being in pom.xml. Upon removing it from my code it began to work. Not sure why this is the case though.
