I have an issue with getting my Java Spring Boot application to run. I get the error message below. I believe I have all of the necessary dependencies. However, the error seems to be in correlation to the javax.servlet.Filter class, which I have on my pom.xml file, but unless I have a deprecated version, I am not sure where my issue is located... After investigating further, the issue seems to be that I am using Spring Security in my project, and Spring Security is trying to create a HttpSecurity object to configure security filters, but it's unable to find the necessary javax.servlet.Filter class. My project is running Java 17.

This is because the filter is in jakarta.servlet.Filter (not in javax.servlet.Filter), since Java 17. However, the 5.x.x Spring Security is still relying on javax.servlet.Filter, so you must either downgrade your Spring Boot version to use Java8, or upgrade your Spring Security version to 6.x.x.
