org.axonframework.common.AxonConfigurationException: A default XStreamSerializer is used for snapshots, without specifying the security context - spring

Question

I am using Spring Boot and CQRS using AXONIQ Framework concepts using: https://www.udemy.com/course/master-spring-boot-microservices-with-cqrs-event-sourcing/learn/lecture/23432536#overview.
I am getting the below error when trying to start the app.
Error:

Answer 1

Adding something like the Bean underneath to theAxonConfiguration class should hopefully fix it.
#Bean
#Qualifier("defaultAxonXStream")
public XStream xStream() {
XStream xStream = new XStream();
xStream.allowTypesByWildcard(new String[]{
"java.util.**",
"tech.gklijs.tech.**"
});
return xStream;
}
