java.lang.IllegalStateException: No ServletContext set exception with Spring Boot and OAuth2 - rest

Question

I am trying to create a simple REST service using Spring Boot and securing it with OAuth2. I am following the tutorial at http://websystique.com/spring-security/secure-spring-rest-api-using-oauth2/ and my classes are exactly the same. But I am getting the below exception when running the application:
Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the conditions report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.

Please help

Answer 1

I too was getting same error. I fixed this by removing the below lines from the MethodSecurityConfig class.
#Autowired
private OAuth2SecurityConfiguration securityConfig;
