Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, when using Jakarta*

Question

I am beginner to spring and upgrading my company's app from spring boot 2.1.11_RELEASE to 3.0.5. I have migrated from javax to jakarta but still getting this error:

I don't see any use of HealthEndpointConfiguration.class in the my service

!!!This error goes away by including javax.servlet-api dependency in the pom but since I am migrating to jakarta I don't know why it doesn't go away with including jakarta.servlet-api dependency. I have also replaced org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient with org.apache.httpcomponents.client5:httpclient5.
