Spring Security without the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter not working - spring-security

Question

I am trying to kick out the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter and this is not working out. When I use the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter I can see the log message being written(second snippet) when I do not use it the log message is not there(first one). Why? What can I do to see what is wrong? I enabled logging for the or.springframerork.security but I do not see anything helpfull in there.
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Profile;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.web.SecurityFilterChain;
import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;
#EnableWebSecurity(debug = true)
#Profile({ "cloud" })
#Slf4j
public class CpfsSecurityConfig2 {
public void configure(final HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
log.debug("XXXX Reached configure XXXX");
}
#Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
this.configure(http);
return http.build();
}
}
and using the deprecated WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
#EnableWebSecurity(debug = true)
#Profile({ "cloud" })
#Slf4j
public class CpfsSecurityConfig2 extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void configure(final HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
log.debug("XXXX Reached configure XXXX");
}
// #Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
this.configure(http);
return http.build();
}
}
I am using Spring Boot 2.7.0 with these dependencies
<!-- Security -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>

<artifactId>xsuaa-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
