There are few challenges encountered when migrating an application written in springboot 1.5 to 3.x and to successfully fix compilation & run time issues. The List of possible changes in the application are based on the things you have used in your application. I will tell my story when upgrading this.
I have gone through the link https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.0-Migration-Guide to migrate initially from 1.5 to 2.0 and keeping java version same java8. There are basic code changes for this like
- JPA findone → findbyId (method name change)
- server.session.timeout → server.servlet.session.timeout (change of property name)
- package name change - old -org.springframework.boot.web.support.SpringBootServletInitializer new -org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer
- there are few other changes related to spring security and redis implementation which i have migrated directly to springboot 3.0.1 changes.
Next I started to work on migrate springboot from 2.0 to 3.0.1 with java 17 . All the possible changes are :
a. pom.xml — these are required changes as some of them are removed in spring
b. property name changes /additions-
you may face run time issues without below properties — circular reference bydefault disabled in latest version and ant_path_matcher required as there are changes in spring security.
c. spring security configuration
d. spring session data redis configuration-
e. custom Auth filter — this is used to set context in securitycontextholder for manual authentication and it is not required for basic authentication.
f. spring security basic authentication — springboot3 bydefault enables basic security authentication and prints password in console. If you want custom username and password and you can mention the properties like that below.
