🦉 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

[ashitsalesforce]

The upgrade from Spring Framework 6.2.8 to 7.0.9 is a high-risk major version update that introduces significant breaking changes, requiring both code and environment modifications.

Key Breaking Changes:

• Jakarta EE 11 Baseline: This is the most impactful change. Spring Framework 7.0 requires Jakarta EE 11 APIs, which necessitates updating the entire application environment.

  • Servlet Container: Requires Jakarta Servlet 6.1, supported by servers like Tomcat 11+ and Jetty 12.1+. Support for Undertow has been removed.
  • Persistence: Requires JPA 3.2 and Bean Validation 3.1, which means upgrading to providers like Hibernate ORM 7.1+.
  • Namespace Enforcement: Support for javax.annotation and javax.inject annotations has been completely removed. All code must be migrated to the jakarta.* namespace.

• Java Version Requirement: Spring Framework 7 requires a minimum of JDK 17 and is recommended for use with JDK 25.

• API and Component Removals:

  • Several path matching options deprecated in version 6.x (e.g., suffixPatternMatch, trailingSlashMatch) have been removed.
  • The spring-jcl logging module is removed.
  • For applications using Spring Security, the .and() configuration style is removed, and PathPatternRequestMatcher is now enforced.

• Dependency Upgrades: The new version aligns with major upgrades of key dependencies, including Jackson 3, Kotlin 2.2, and JUnit 6.

Recommendation:
This upgrade will likely require significant effort. Before migrating to Spring Framework 7.0, it is strongly recommended to first upgrade to the latest Spring Framework 6.x release, resolve all deprecation warnings, and then plan the migration to handle the new baselines and removed APIs.
