I read this other posting about how to add a servlet filter in Spring Boot, but I am getting a No Default Constructor error when I try to follow its example of adding an inner WebConfig class within the UiApplication.java class file.

I am trying this because adding ignoring(/api-url to the app's SecurityConfig class caused a message stating the /api-url has an empty filter list. I want to add a servlet filter for /api-url so that its filter list is no longer empty.

The code for the WebConfig inner class is: 

@Configuration
public class WebConfig {

    @Bean
    public FilterRegistrationBean shallowEtagHeaderFilter() {
        FilterRegistrationBean registration = new FilterRegistrationBean();
        registration.setFilter(new ShallowEtagHeaderFilter());
        registration.setDispatcherTypes(EnumSet.allOf(DispatcherType.class));
        registration.addUrlPatterns("/api-url");
        return registration;
    }
}

What specific changes need to be made to the code below to enable the servlet filter to be added to /api-url without throwing the error?

The complete code for the UiApplication.java class is: 

@SpringBootApplication
@Controller
public class UiApplication extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    @Configuration
    public class WebConfig {

        @Bean
        public FilterRegistrationBean shallowEtagHeaderFilter() {
            FilterRegistrationBean registration = new FilterRegistrationBean();
            registration.setFilter(new ShallowEtagHeaderFilter());
            registration.setDispatcherTypes(EnumSet.allOf(DispatcherType.class));
            registration.addUrlPatterns("/api-url");
            return registration;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(UiApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public LocaleChangeInterceptor localeChangeInterceptor() {
        LocaleChangeInterceptor lci = new LocaleChangeInterceptor();
        lci.setParamName("lang");
        return lci;
    }

    @Override
    public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
        registry.addInterceptor(localeChangeInterceptor());
    }

    @Configuration
    @Order(SecurityProperties.ACCESS_OVERRIDE_ORDER)
    @EnableWebSecurity
    @EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
    protected static class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

        @Override
        public void configure(WebSecurity webSecurity) throws Exception {
            webSecurity.ignoring().antMatchers("/api-url");
        }

        @Override
        protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            http
                .formLogin()
                .and()
                .httpBasic().and()
                .authorizeRequests()
                    .antMatchers("/").permitAll()
                    .antMatchers("/secure**").permitAll()
                    .anyRequest().authenticated();;
        }
    }
}

And the complete stack trace of the error when I try to launch the Spring Boot jar is: 

2016-04-10 10:32:58.759 ERROR 5174 --- [           main] o.s.boot.SpringApplication               : Application startup failed

Make your WebConfig class static:

@Configuration
public static class WebConfig { ... }

Also, do not put all of your configurations in one class, try to put them in separate classes.

Thank you and +1. Adding the word static where you indicated has resulted in the app compiling. But that is half of the OP's question. How can I resolve the second half of the OP, which would confirm that the /api-url does indeed have a filter attached to it now?
Send a request to one of endpoints that starts with api-url with appropriate etag header and put a breakpoint in ShallowEtagHeaderFilter#doFilterInternal.
Thank you. What do you mean by "appropriate etag header?" I have sent a request for /api-url and the result is the debug logs printing /api-url has an empty filter list. The actual url is /registration-form, but I am using the term /api-url in this OP to keep things generic so others can use it too.
Also, I looked in UiApplication.java and there is no ShallowEtagHeaderFilter#doFilterInternal, so I am not sure where to put the break point.
ShallowEtagHeaderFilter has a method called doFilterInteral.
