Frequently Asked Questions about spring-boot-migration

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Spring Boot applications to Jakarta EE namespaces?▼

To migrate Spring Boot applications to Jakarta EE namespaces, you must update imports from javax to jakarta. This process can be automated using OpenRewrite to systematically refactor your codebase across major Spring Boot version upgrades.

What are the key Spring Security configuration updates when upgrading Spring Boot versions?▼

Spring Security configuration updates during a Spring Boot upgrade involve adapting to breaking API changes in the security framework. Specific migration steps are required to align your security setup with the target version's new API standards.

How do I handle property migrations when upgrading Spring Boot?▼

Spring Boot property migrations can be handled using the spring-boot-properties-migrator tool, which automatically detects and updates deprecated configuration properties to their new equivalents in the target version.

Can I upgrade Spring Boot directly from 2.7 to 4.0?▼

Upgrading Spring Boot directly from 2.7 to 4.0 is not recommended due to cumulative breaking changes. You should follow version-specific migration steps, addressing Jakarta EE, Hibernate, and Spring Security updates incrementally.

Does OpenRewrite work with Spring Boot 3.x upgrades?▼

Yes, OpenRewrite works with Spring Boot 3.x upgrades to automate namespace changes, such as migrating javax to jakarta. It helps refactor codebases efficiently when moving across major framework versions.

What Hibernate API differences should I expect during a Spring Boot migration?▼

During a Spring Boot migration, you should expect key API differences in Hibernate that require code adjustments. The migration process details these specific framework changes to ensure your data layer remains compatible.
