    </plugins>
</build>

and with it this error just kept coming over and over "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/Filter" in the pursuit of solving this error the error above appeared xd

i tried changing the versions of some dependencies as someone said in stackoverflow in someone problem but didnt change anything and for the class not found javax i tried to do run/configuration but when i tried to add a springboot app run config i didnt find it in the run config maybe because its a community edition IDE.

Answer 1

The main problem that you have here is in mixing of framework versions

To fix it you have to remove

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-security-config</artifactId>
        <version>5.5.2</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.1</version> <!-- Use the appropriate version -->
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

And also be sure that you replace all projects imports from javax.x to jakarta.x. Because from Spring Boot 3.x and Spring Framework 6.x all javax.x were replaced with jakarta.x.
