Spring Migration - getting NoClassDefFoundError during application bootrun

I am in the process of migrating spring boot to version 3.5.6 (from 2.2.2). I am getting the following error while running the boot run for the main class

Error: Could not find or load main class com.myapp.Application Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/web/WebApplicationInitializer

This are my gradle dependencies
