how to configure Spring security without WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter class in spring boot 3 - spring-boot

Question

Now without the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter I am trying to update this security configuration like this:
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig{
#Autowired
private UserDetailsServiceImpl userDetailsService;
#Autowired
private AuthEntryPointJwt authenticationEntryPoint;
#Bean
public AuthTokenFilter authTokenFilter(){
return new AuthTokenFilter();
}
#Bean
public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}
#Bean
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManager(AuthenticationConfiguration authenticationConfiguration) throws Exception {
return authenticationConfiguration.getAuthenticationManager();
}
#Bean
protected SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.csrf().disable()
.authorizeHttpRequests().requestMatchers("/api/auth/**").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(authenticationEntryPoint)
.and()
.sessionManagement()
.sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS)
.and();
http.addFilterBefore(authTokenFilter(), UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
return http.build();
}
#Bean
public DaoAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider() {
DaoAuthenticationProvider authProvider = new DaoAuthenticationProvider();
authProvider.setUserDetailsService(userDetailsService);
authProvider.setPasswordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
return authProvider;
}
}
But I get the following error:
Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the condition evaluation report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.

Action:
Consider defining a bean named 'A Bean named mvcHandlerMappingIntrospector of type org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.HandlerMappingIntrospector is required to use MvcRequestMatcher.

I would appreciate any kind of help that would be most welcome.
