详细报错如下
报错背景，我将springboot从2.3.3升级到了2.7.2，报了下面的错误：

排查：
跟踪到时这里空指针WebMvcPatternsRequestConditionWrapper#getPatterns
这里之所以为空是因为，这里走了PATH_PATTERN_PARSER默认走的是这个策略：
走这个默认策略就会设置WebMvcAutoConfiguration#configurePathMatch，然后调用setPatternParser
然后子build逻辑的时候,如果patternParser不为空则走上面的分支，所以PatternsRequestCondition 不会赋值，所以下面使用就报错了空指针：
所以我们再结合上面，的分析我们追踪到可以通过配置改变这个策略,到此位置问题解决：
spring:
mvc:
pathmatch:
matching-strategy: ant_path_matcher
但是为很好奇为什么springboot2.3.3就不会有这个问题呢？整合方式没有变呀，那只能去源码找答案了。你会发现你找不到MatchingStrategy,下面的代码如果不配置默认就是AntPathMatcher,到这里就明显了所以2.3.3没有报错。
