Spring Integration upgrade from 5.2.x to 5.3 problem - spring-boot

Question

I wanted to upgrade Spring boot version from 2.2.7.RELEASE to 2.3.0.RELEASE, I am using also Spring integration file with XML configuration (see below).
when starting my application, a NullPointerException is thrown. After debugging the issue, the root cause was the creation of the bean file:inbound-channel-adapter. The interesting thing is that only this type of beans which cause this issue and all other ones doesn't.
Did anyone had a similar issue? Anyone can help transforming this XML to Java configuration style? Thanks in advance.

The issue is confirmed. The FileReadingMessageSourceFactoryBean doesn't populate a beanName into a FileReadingMessageSource it produces.
Your config is too big to convert it over here immediately. Consider to follow docs: https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/current/reference/html/overview.html#programming-tips
A Java & Annotations configuration analog for the <file:inbound-channel-adapter> is like this:
#Bean
#InboundChannelAdapter
public FileReadingMessageSource fileReadingMessageSource() {
...
}
See more info here: https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/current/reference/html/configuration.html#annotations
With Java DSL it is just a matter to take an IntegrationFlows.from(MessageSource) factory and follow its builder for the rest:
https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/current/reference/html/dsl.html#java-dsl-inbound-adapters

I stick to the Spring Boot version 2.3.0 and only override the version of SI to 5.3.1 release and it worked. The Exception is gone.
