This commit adds a new annotation, @ServletComponentScan, that can be
used to enable scanning for @WebFilter, @WebListener, and @WebServlet
annotated classes. Registration beans will be automatically created for
any classes that are found, with the configuration derived from the
annotation.
Given that Spring Boot uses java config accross the board, a new `value`
attribute is now aliased to the existing `classes` attribute such that
one could write the following:
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(MyConfig.class)
public class MyTest {}

Changing the velocity view resolver to a VelocityLayoutViewResolver seems
a common use case so it has now a dedicated section in the relevant how
to.
Closes gh-3732
This commit adds a new property, logging.exception-conversion-word,
that can be used to configure the conversion word that is used when
logging exceptions. The default value, %rEx, will log exceptions
with the root cause first and include class packaging information in
the stack trace. The new property is supported when using either
Logback or Log4J2.
Closes gh-3684
A RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration subclass provided by a user is
problematic in a Spring Boot application as it causes
RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration's bean declarations to be processed
before any auto-configuration runs.
One problem that this causes is that it switches off Boot's Jackson
auto-configuration due to RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration having
already declared multiple ObjectMapper beans. Unlike Boot's
auto-configured ObjectMapper, none of these ObjectMappers are marked
as @Primary. This then leads to wiring failures due to multiple
candidates being available.
To address this problem a new RepositoryRestConfigurer abstract has been
introduced in Spring Data Gosling. Its use is now strongly preferred
over subclassing RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration. Note that our own
RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration subclass remains. It is imported as part
of auto-configuration (avoiding the ordering problems described above),
and provides configuration properties binding for
RepositoryRestConfiguration. However, the Jackson ObjectMapper
configuration has been moved out into a new RepositoryRestConfigurer
implementation.
While SpringBootRepositoryRestMvcConfiguration remains, this commit
makes it package private to discourage users from subclassing it. While
this may break existing applications, it, coupled with the documentation
updates, will hopefully guide them toward using
RepositoryRestConfigurer.
Closes gh-3439
Previously, all attempts to log a configuration file were logged at DEBUG
level which lead to a lot of noise as Spring Boot looks in many places by
default.
We now only log the files that are effectively found at DEBUG level and
all failed attempts at TRACE level.
Closes gh-3129
Migrate `spring.view.prefix` and `spring.view.suffix` to
`spring.mvc.view.prefix` and `spring.mvc.view.suffix` respectively. The
former properties are still handled in a backward compatible way and are
defined as deprecated in the meta-data.
Closes gh-3250
Previously, the actual HTTP port on which a web application is running on
was only exposed in tests. This commit makes sure to provide that feature
regardless of the environment so that applications can know on which port
they are actually running on.
If there are several containers, each is exposed via the namespace of
their respective application context.
Closes gh-3259
This commit replaces Spring Boot's basic dependency management support
with separate dependency management plugin. This has a number of
benefits including:
1. A Maven bom can be used rather than a custom properties file
2. Dependency management is applied transitively rather than only to
direct dependencies
3. Exclusions are applied as they would be in Maven
4. Gradle-generated poms are automatically configured with the
appropriate dependency management
Closes gh-2133
Rename RepositoryRestMvcBootConfiguration to
SpringBootRepositoryRestMvcConfiguration so that it follows the same
naming pattern as other custom Spring Boot configurations.
See gh-2392
If an application defines a custom RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration, all
Spring Boot defaults are lots. While this sounds sensible, it can be
confusing as Spring Boot exposes properties (`spring.data.rest.*`) that
are no longer honored.
RepositoryRestMvcBootConfiguration is now public and can be used as an
extension point for those who need to customize the Spring Data REST
configuration and keep boot's specific defaults.
Fixes gh-2392
