Defining a bean of type 'com.netflix.discovery.AbstractDiscoveryClientOptionalArgs' in your configuration - spring-boot

Question

I am migrating my application from Spring boot version 1.5.22.RELEASE to 2.5.5 to remediate vulnerabilities. In one cache-locator module, I am using spring-boot-starter-data-gemfire 1.5.22.RELEASE along with com.gemstone.gemfire:gemfire:8.2.7, spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client version 3.1.0, & other spring framework dependencies as-

The main class of this module as-
#SpringBootApplication
#ImportResource({"gemfire-locator.xml"})
#EnableEncryptableProperties
public class LocatorApp {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(LocatorApp.class, args);
}
}
I have defined configuration in application-local.properties file for this module as-
#spring.profiles.active=local
#spring.profiles.include=pulse.authentication.custom
spring.profiles.groups.local=pulse.authentication.custom
spring.application.name=gemfirelocator
server.hostname=#{T.........}
server.port=9020
gemfire.properties.location=/gemfire/gemfire-locator-local.properties
data.location=.
When I try to start this service, I get the following error-
Field optionalArgs in org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.EurekaClientAutoConfiguration$RefreshableEurekaClientConfiguration required a bean of type 'com.netflix.discovery.AbstractDiscoveryClientOptionalArgs' in your configuration.
The injection point has following annotations:
#org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)
I have tried to change and try with other versions of netflix-eureka-client and also I tried to remove many exclusions of dependencies in this pom.xml file but nothing helped to start my service which I am able to run with spring boot version 1.5.22.RELEASE.
How can I resolve this issue?

My problem is that web dependencies are missing .
You can add the following dependencies to you pom.xml file .
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
