Support Category: Select

Guide: Spring Module User Guide

2.0.0

July 30, 2025

What’s New

  • Spring Module (and its dependencies) are now compilable and compatible only with Java 17.

  • To align with modern development practices and ensure continued compatibility with secure and supported libraries, Spring Module is upgraded from Spring 5.x to Spring 6.x.

  • The structure of the spring:security-manager element is updated to resolve validation issues with the DSL. Previously, delegate-security-providers could be defined directly within spring:security-manager. Now, all spring:delegate-security-provider elements must be wrapped within a new spring:delegate-security-providers element.

    • Old structure (no longer supported):

      <spring:security-manager doc:name="Spring Security Manager">
   <spring:delegate-security-provider name="memory-provider" delegate-ref="authenticationManager" />
</spring:security-manager>

    • New structure (required):

      <spring:security-manager doc:name="Spring Security Manager">
   <spring:delegate-security-providers>
     <spring:delegate-security-provider name="memory-provider" delegate-ref="authenticationManager" />
   </spring:delegate-security-providers>
</spring:security-manager>
