After upgrading to Spring Boot 3.2.0 our services that use spring-boot-starter-web-services now log a new warning on startup:

logger_name: org.springframework.context.support.PostProcessorRegistrationDelegate$BeanPostProcessorChecker level: WARN

Bean 'org.springframework.ws.config.annotation.DelegatingWsConfiguration' of type [org.springframework.ws.config.annotation.DelegatingWsConfiguration$$SpringCGLIB$$0] is not eligible for getting processed by all BeanPostProcessors (for example: not eligible for auto-proxying). The currently created BeanPostProcessor [annotationActionEndpointMapping] is declared through a non-static factory method on that class; consider declaring it as static instead.

Comment From: wilkinsona

As indicated by the error message, the problem lies in the signature of annotationActionEndpointMapping method on org.springframework.ws.config.annotation.DelegatingWsConfiguration (the method should be static). DelegatingWsConfiguration is part of Spring Web Services. Please raise an issue there.
