SpringBoot Configuring management.server.port via a config tree results in a ConverterNotFoundException when the management context is refreshed

Hi,

Recently upgraded the spring actuator from 2.4.10 to 2.7.4.

In our project, we are using the configTree import in Kubernetes as below

spring.config.import: "configtree:/app/**"

There is config file binding of "management.server.port" with value 8081 and "server.port" with value 8080

Getting the below error after upgrading:

To reproduce the issue,

Configure the different port for server.port and management.server.port and import the configuration with configtree.

Suspect: CharSequenceToObjectConverter is not invoking for the WebFluxEndpointManagementContextConfiguration.managementHealthEndpointWebFluxHandlerMapping and also noticed this method included after 2.5.+

Much appreciated if you provide workaround if any till fixing the issue

Thanks for the report.

The problem's due to the way in which the child application context for the management server is created. The main application context contains an Environment that uses a ConfigurationPropertySourcesPropertyResolver with an ApplicationConversionService. The conversion service contains a CharSequenceToObjectConverter that allows the PropertyFileContent, which implements CharSequence, to be converted to an Integer. When the child context is created, this conversion service is lost and its Environment uses a PropertySourcesPropertyResolver with a DefaultConversion service which is unable to perform the necessary conversion.

I think the simplest fix would be to configure the child context's Environment to use the same ConversionService as the parent context. However, that would still leave the child context's Environment with a different PropertyResolver implementation. The Environment implementations themselves would also be different. I'd like to discuss this with the team to see how much we want to try to align things.
