Error starting up Eureka Client with Spring Boot 2.4.1

I am developing an application using Spring Boot 2.4.1 and Eureka. I achieved to start up the Eureka Server, but with the Eureka Client I am getting the following error:

Is there a way to run Eureka Client with Spring Boot 2.4.1. Do you think it's better to use Spring Boot 2.3.7 because of compatibilities issue like the one I am having?
Thanks you.

I found that adding the following dependency, the problem doesn't occur.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey.contribs</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-apache-client4</artifactId>
<version>1.19.4</version>
</dependency>

May help: I changed the project SDK version from 16 to 1.8 and the problem disappeared! (in Intellij go to Project Structure)

In client yaml file, add the below config
eureka:
client:
register-with-eureka: true
fetch-registry: true
service-url:
defaultZone: http://localhost:8761/eureka/
instance:
hostname: localhost

Why bootstrap.properties is ignored by spring-cloud-starter-config?

My goal is to get the config for world-service from a config-service.
The architecture:
config-service with dependency spring-cloud-config-server at localhost:8888
world-service with dependency the spring-web and spring-cloud-starter-config.
What I have done:
I have set up the Config Server and send a GET request to http://localhost:8888/hello-service/master and the config server get the hello-service.properties from the config-repo repository. (If you need the config-service's source code, I will push it to this repository.)
My expected result:
The world-service use port 8081.
My actual result:
The world-service use port 8080.
bootstrap.properties
spring.application.name=world-service
spring.cloud.config.uri=http://localhost:8888

With Spring Cloud 2020, they made a change in how bootstrap works and you have to include a new starter: spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap.

I spent a day on it and finally found a solution. It may help others
You need to add new dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap</artifactId>
</dependency>
According to the Spring Cloud 2020.0
Bootstrap, provided by spring-cloud-commons, is no longer enabled by
default. If your project requires it, it can be re-enabled by
properties or by a new starter.
To re-enable by properties set spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true or
spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true. These need to be set as an
environment variable, java system property or a command line argument.
The other option is to include the new spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap
(in your POM file).
I used the first option and that worked for me.

Spring Boot 2.4 introduced a new way to import configuration data via the spring.config.import property. This is now the default way to bind to Config Server.
To connect to config server set the following in application.yml:
spring:
application:
name: APPLICATION_NAME
config:
import: optional:configserver:http://USER:PASSWORD#MY_HOST:PORT/
You can see more details in: https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/docs/3.0.0/reference/html/#config-data-import

EnableConfigServer is not working for native location in spring boot

I am trying to configure a configuration server for all the properties in our application using #EnableConfigServer in spring boot. Please see the code below :
#EnableConfigServer
#SpringBootApplication
public class ConfigServerApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(ConfigServerApplication.class, args);
}
}

Copied all the property files to : /Users/Sankest/StarterProjects/MicroServices/AllConfigurations/
But when I try to access url at http://localhost:9090/config-server/default I am not seeing any property files and getting the following response:
{"name":"config-server","profiles":["default"],"label":null,"version":null,"state":null,"propertySources":[]}

Add dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
</dependency>

Correct value should be spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations=file:///Users/Sankest/StarterProjects/MicroServices/AllConfigurations/ with 3 front slashes after file:. One way to verify whether path is correct or not, even without running the application, is to paste the path in browser and check whether it shows all the files.
For default profile make sure either file name is application.yml or application.properties.
For other profiles e.g. dev, file name should be application-dev.yml or application-dev.properties (if all are in the same folder), then http://localhost:9090/config-server/dev would show both dev and default profile entries.

I don't think so you are accessing the correct endpoint.
For example :
If you are having three files in your AllConfigurations folder.
The file can be yml or properties.
application-dev.yml
application-test.yml
application-prod.yml
The name in the left side of the - is application name and name in right side is profile.
So the endpoint for application-dev.yml will be
 http://localhost:9090/application/dev
From the client to access the specific profile file in the config-server you need to set the active profile.
If you client application name is test
spring.profile.active=dev
Then it will return test-dev file to your client from config server.

Netflix Zuul server - /routes endpoint not available

In this coding exercise for learning microservices, I've created a Netflix Zuul project for service routing my microservices.
Sadly, the /routes endpoint does not seem to be mounted. Everything else seems to be working fine: Defining prefixes and setting up specific routes for my services.
There are no errors on the zuul server log files.
When I try to hit the /routes url on postman, I get an 404 error:
My Zuul application class:

The actuator base path has changed to /actuator. So you need to use /actuator/routes. It is also not enabled by default.

Pivot Cloud Foundry error: "Browser detection failed and system property h2.browser not set" - Spring Boot 2

I'm trying to cf push my spring boot app to Pivot Cloud Foundry, but the container fails to start. This is the error output:

I tried to set the h2.browser property to "opera", false and true in Application.yml but that did not solve the problem. I also removed the h2 dependency because I don't want to use h2 in PCF and rebuilded the artifact before cf push. When I run the JAR file, it opens my browser with the h2 webinterface (I don't want that).
What am I missing here?
EDIT: I think I might need to pass an argument to the java app in PCF to disable the console (browser part) of H2 but not sure..

I solved it by first starting a new Spring project, secondly importing all the dependancies in my new project POM file and and than adding back all classes (code) in that order. I ended up with a new project on the same codebase without the error.
This is not the exact answer to what was going wrong with it, but it might be helpfull for someone trying to solve the same problem. I'm using h2 now on a production server. Also, the answer from #Daniel in respond to the issue might be helpful.
