upgrading spring boot to 2.4.1

Question

I need to upgrade my spring boot to 2.4.1 from 2.3.7.RELEASE. when I update my pom file, I get error in spring-security-oauth2 dependency (version 2.4.1.RELEASE). before I've upgraded my spring version, spring-security-oauth2 2.4.1.RELEASE, worked fine with springboot 2.3.7.RELEASE

my pom file dependency:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.1</version>
    <relativePath />
</parent>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.security.oauth</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-security-oauth2</artifactId>
        <version>2.4.1.RELEASE</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <artifactId>spring-security-core</artifactId>
                <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            </exclusion>
            <exclusion>
                <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
                <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

this is my exception when I try to run my app-

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'configurationPropertiesBeans' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/autoconfigure/ConfigurationPropertiesRebinderAutoConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.cloud.context.properties.ConfigurationPropertiesBeans]: Factory method 'configurationPropertiesBeans' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/boot/context/properties/ConfigurationBeanFactoryMetadata

how can I update my springboot version without having trouble with this dependency?

You are talking about upgrading Spring Boot than why are you moving `spring-security-oauth` to a spring boot version? — M. Deinum, Dec 15 '21 at 15:27
you mean why spring-security-oauth version is 2.4.1.RELEASE? thats the original version I had in my project. before I've upgraded to 2.4.1, the previous springboot version was 2.3.7.RELEASE, and spring-security-oauth 2.4.1.RELEASE worked fine — badbuda, Dec 15 '21 at 15:50
You haven't shown us all your dependencies, and now when I look closely at your stacktrace the error comes from a Spring Cloud dependency. Spring Cloud versions are tied to a Spring Boot version. If you upgrade Spring Boot you also need to upgrade the Spring Cloud versions. — M. Deinum, Dec 15 '21 at 18:50

The issue is with incompatibility between your spring cloud and spring boot version, please upgrade your spring cloud version to be compatible with spring boot 2.4.x.

Reference : springboot Upgrade from 2.3.5.RELEASE to 2.4.1- ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationBeanFactoryMetadata
