Consider defining a bean of type 'org.springframework.web.context.request.NativeWebRequest' in your configuration.

Hello,

I was migrating spring boot in our framework from Servlet to Reactive Context. In our framework we are using org.openapitools_openapi-generator-core:7.0.0 plugin to generate code from openapi specs.

I was successfully able to resolve all the issues while migrating to Reative context but at one point it was giving me below error for org.springframework.web.context.request.NativeWebRequest.

required a bean of type 'org.springframework.web.context.request.NativeWebRequest' that could not be found.\r\n\r\n\r\nAction:\r\n\r\nConsider defining a bean of type 'org.springframework.web.context.request.NativeWebRequest' in your configuration.

As our framework is being used by other applications, so i do not want them to rewrite controllers for Reactive.
So as of now i did this workaround to duck this error, but it is not a correct implementation.

@Bean
  @ConditionalOnWebApplication(type = ConditionalOnWebApplication.Type.REACTIVE)
  public NativeWebRequest nativeWebRequest() {
    return new ServletWebRequest(new MockHttpServletRequest());
  }

Could you please help me for a possible correct solution.

springBootVersion=3.4.5

Start by reproducing the NativeWebRequest bean failure while migrating generated code from Servlet to Reactive context with Spring Boot 3.4.5. Review the generated controller integration and the reactive configuration involved; done means identifying a correct framework-level solution that does not require consuming applications to rewrite their controllers.
