I am implementing Elasticsearch 8.0.1 version using Spring Boot. As mentioned in the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/8.0/installation.html), this is the `pom.xml` of my project ```auto co.elastic.clients elasticsearch-java 8.0.1 com.fasterxml.jackson.core jackson-databind 2.12.3 ``` This is the Configuration class (`ElasticsearchConfiguration.java`) ```auto @Bean public ElasticsearchClient client() { RestClient restClient = RestClient.builder( new HttpHost("localhost", 9900)).build(); // Create the transport with a Jackson mapper ElasticsearchTransport transport = new RestClientTransport( restClient, new JacksonJsonpMapper()); // And create the API client ElasticsearchClient client = new ElasticsearchClient(transport); return client; } } ``` And the main class includes the following part of the code ```auto @Bean public boolean createTestIndex() throws Exception { CreateIndexResponse createResponse = elasticsearchClient.indices().create( new CreateIndexRequest.Builder() .index("my-index") .aliases("foo", new Alias.Builder().isWriteIndex(true).build() ) .build() ); return true; } } ``` But when I run the project I am getting below error ```auto org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'soSearchApp': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'elasticsearchClient'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'client' defined in class path resource [com/esexperts/config/ElasticsearchConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed;

Wild guess: try adding `'jakarta.json:jakarta.json-api:2.0.1'` as an additional dependency and see if that works... ---

@bhavya does your application have a plugin system or create new classloaders? This may be related to [`JsonProvider` : Support specifying the classloader used to resolve the `JsonProvider` or support specifying the `JsonProvider` implementation · Issue #163 · elastic/elasticsearch-java · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-java/issues/163) that has been fixed but not yet released. ---
