I'm trying to initiate a Spring Boot project using OpenJDK 15, Spring Boot 2.6.0, Springfox 3.
We are working on a project that replaced Netty as the web server and used Jetty instead, because we do not need a non-blocking environment.
In the code we depend primarily on Reactor API (Flux, Mono), so we can not remove org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux dependencies.
I replicated the problem that we have in a new project: https://github.com/jvacaq/spring-fox.
I figured out that these lines in our build.gradle file are the origin of the problem.
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") {
exclude module: "spring-boot-starter-tomcat"
}
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jetty")
Here is the build.gradle file:
plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.6.0'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
id 'java'
}
group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '11'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") {
exclude module: "spring-boot-starter-tomcat"
}
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jetty")
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux'
testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
testImplementation 'io.projectreactor:reactor-test'
implementation "io.springfox:springfox-boot-starter:3.0.0"
}
test {
useJUnitPlatform()
}
I issued the command gradle clean bootrun. The result is this error:
gradle clean bootrun

How can I solve it?

This problem's caused by a bug in Springfox. It's making an assumption about how Spring MVC is set up that doesn't always hold true. Specifically, it's assuming that MVC's path matching will use the Ant-based path matcher and not the PathPattern-based matcher. PathPattern-based matching has been an option for some time now and is the default as of Spring Boot 2.6.
As described in Spring Boot 2.6's release notes, you can restore the configuration that Springfox assumes will be used by setting spring.mvc.pathmatch.matching-strategy to ant-path-matcher in your application.properties file. Note that this will only work if you are not using Spring Boot's Actuator. The Actuator always uses PathPattern-based parsing, irrespective of the configured matching-strategy. A change to Springfox will be required if you want to use it with the Actuator in Spring Boot 2.6 and later.

The workaround mentioned in the below issue comment seems to be working for people with spring actuator as well. Just changing the path matcher won't work for projects using actuator.
Set in application.properties file:
spring.mvc.pathmatch.matching-strategy to ant_path_matcher
Add the @Bean below:
@Bean
public WebMvcEndpointHandlerMapping webEndpointServletHandlerMapping(
WebEndpointsSupplier webEndpointsSupplier,
ServletEndpointsSupplier servletEndpointsSupplier,
ControllerEndpointsSupplier controllerEndpointsSupplier,
EndpointMediaTypes endpointMediaTypes,
CorsEndpointProperties corsProperties,
WebEndpointProperties webEndpointProperties,
Environment environment) {
List<ExposableEndpoint<?>> allEndpoints = new ArrayList();
Collection<ExposableWebEndpoint> webEndpoints = webEndpointsSupplier.getEndpoints();
allEndpoints.addAll(webEndpoints);
allEndpoints.addAll(servletEndpointsSupplier.getEndpoints());
allEndpoints.addAll(controllerEndpointsSupplier.getEndpoints());
String basePath = webEndpointProperties.getBasePath();
EndpointMapping endpointMapping = new EndpointMapping(basePath);
boolean shouldRegisterLinksMapping = this.shouldRegisterLinksMapping(
webEndpointProperties, environment, basePath);
return new WebMvcEndpointHandlerMapping(endpointMapping, webEndpoints,
endpointMediaTypes, corsProperties.toCorsConfiguration(),
new EndpointLinksResolver(allEndpoints, basePath),
shouldRegisterLinksMapping, null);
}
private boolean shouldRegisterLinksMapping(WebEndpointProperties webEndpointProperties,
Environment environment, String basePath) {
return webEndpointProperties.getDiscovery().isEnabled() &&
(StringUtils.hasText(basePath) ||
ManagementPortType.get(environment).equals(ManagementPortType.DIFFERENT));
}
Reference:

Only adding @EnableWebMvc in the main class should resolve the problem:
@EnableWebMvc
@SpringBootApplication
public class MyApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(MyApp.class);
}
}
Not a solution but...
I downgraded spring-boot-starter-parent version from 2.6.0 to 2.5.6 and it started to work.
