SpringBoot + method based hierarchical roles security: ServletContext is required

Question

I added method-based security and added role hierarchy. I keep getting the following exception during build:

org.springf

Answer 1

OK, found it.

I played around with the class annotations and came to a simple solution: I removed @EnableGlobalMethodSecurity from GlobalMethodSecurityConfig and moved it to WebSecurityConfiguration, where it was before. So it looks like this:

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
public class WebSecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { (...) }

and this:

@Configuration
public class GlobalMethodSecurityConfig extends GlobalMethodSecurityConfiguration { (...) }

The most interesting part is that the accepted answer from here advises what didn't work for me.
