NoClassDefFoundError jakarta/servlet/http/HttpSessionContext after upgrade to spring boot 3

In my gradle base project I'm trying upgrade spring dependency from 2.7.6 to 3.0.1,

However I face issue NoClassDefFoundError: jakarta/servlet/http/HttpSessionContext

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jakarta/servlet/http/HttpSessionContext

As I understand spring boot 3.0 use Servlet Api 6.0 which is not supported by Jetty and it requires downgrade Servlet API to 5.0.0 (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-3.0-Migration-Guide#jetty)

I've had the same issue, and the previously suggested option was not working for everything. Either the service would start or all the tests (inc mockmvc) would succeed. But not everything. Setting 5.0.0 or 6.0.0 would only make one part to work... :-(

In the end, this setup has worked for all:

    ext {
        set("jakarta-servlet.version", '5.0.0')
    }

plus:

    testImplementation 
            'org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server:11.0.14',
            'jakarta.servlet:jakarta.servlet-api:6.0.0',

To solve this issue, you need to add to your gradle.build script ext['jakarta-servlet.version'] = '5.0.0'
