SpringBoot Springboot 3.0.7 - Spring security httpSecurity bean missing error

Upgraded REST based Springboot application from 2.7.2 to 3.0.7. Application was using spring security for adding the XSS and cache control related additional http headers .

It had below code in the configuration.

@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    http.csrf().disable().authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/**").permitAll().anyRequest().authenticated();
    http.headers(headers -> headers.frameOptions(frameOptions -> frameOptions.deny()));
    http.headers().addHeaderWriter(new StaticHeadersWriter("X-Content-Security-Policy", "frame-ancestors 'none'"));
    http.headers().httpStrictTransportSecurity().includeSubDomains(true).maxAgeInSeconds(31536000);
    http.headers().addHeaderWriter(new StaticHeadersWriter("X-Content-Type-Options", "nosniff"));
    http.headers().addHeaderWriter(new StaticHeadersWriter("Content-Security-Policy", "default-src 'self'"));
    return http.build();
}

After the upgrade this throws httpSecurity bean not found exception

This looks like a duplicate of #36147. There will be no HttpSecurity bean available if there's no WebServer. Let's focus on #36147. If figuring that out doesn't help with this issue, we can re-open it and take another look.
