Error processing condition on org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.context.PropertyPlaceholderAutoConfiguration.propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer

Ask Question
after adding the WebSecurityConfig class I got this error(Error processing condition on org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.context.PropertyPlaceholderAutoConfiguration.propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer). Can someone help me do I have to add any dependency or change something. I am new at this.
WebSecurityConfig.java

Reason for an error: Below mentioned necessary spring security dependency is missing (That should be added along with spring-security-configdependency. i.e. Web support for Spring Security.
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-web</artifactId>
  </dependency>
But as per the pom.xml configuration, it's already in Spring Boot, in my opinion the spring-boot-starter-security starter will automatically include all dependencies such as spring-security-core, spring-security-web and spring-security-config among others (instead of adding spring-security-config & spring-security-web) and also to avoid missing the required dependencies.
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
    </dependency>
Please note that above solution will solve the mentioned error only, but as per pom.xml user/developer is trying to configure spring boot with microsoft sql server. So hope user/developer had already maintaining the required configuration in the application.properties to avoid the issues with database related dependencies.
