Question

Answer 1

I solved the problem with help from a solution to a similar problem on this Platform.

I excluded configuration filters from being scanned by putting the following annotations in the myappconfig file:

@EnableWebMvc 
@Configuration
@ComponentScan(
  basePackages ={ "com.myapp" }, 
  excludeFilters = { 
    @Filter(type = FilterType.ANNOTATION, value = Configuration.class)
  }
)

After doing this, the problem was not solved.

Then I removed @EnableWebMvc and put in myappinit file and issue was solved.

My guess is that @EnableWebMvc and @ComponentScan(basePackages ={ "com.myapp" }, excludeFilters = { @Filter(type = FilterType.ANNOTATION, value = Configuration.class) }) shouldn't be in the same config file.
