🦉 Improper Authentication

[macroscope-cloud]

The upgrade from spring-boot-starter-tomcat 3.5.5 to 4.0.0 is a major platform migration with significant breaking changes. The Tomcat embed upgrades are minor patches included as part of this larger, high-risk update.

Key Breaking Changes in Spring Boot 4.0:

• Environment Requirements: Spring Boot 4.0 requires Java 17 or later (first-class support for Java 25 is also noted) and is built on Spring Framework 7 and the Jakarta EE 11 platform, which necessitates a Servlet 6.1 compatible container. [2, 8, 10]
• Major Dependency Upgrades: This upgrade cascades to new major versions of critical libraries, including Jackson 3, Hibernate 7, and Spring Security 7. These bring their own breaking changes. [1, 9]
• API Removals and Modularization: APIs deprecated in the 3.x line have been removed. The framework is now more modular, which may require adding new, more specific starter dependencies (e.g., for WebClient or tests) to your build. [11, 14]
• Configuration Property Changes: Numerous configuration properties have been renamed or removed. Using the spring-boot-properties-migrator module is highly recommended to help identify and update properties in application.properties or application.yml. [4, 8]
• Undertow Server Removed: Support for Undertow as an embedded server has been removed due to its incompatibility with the required Servlet 6.1 baseline. Projects using it must migrate to Tomcat or Jetty. [9, 13]
• Jackson 3 Migration: The default JSON library is now Jackson 3, which introduces a new package namespace and API changes. This is a common source of migration issues. [1, 11]

Recommendation: This is a high-effort upgrade that requires significant code and configuration changes. Before upgrading to 4.0.0, you should first upgrade to the latest Spring Boot 3.5.x release and resolve all deprecation warnings. [8, 12]
