This commit enables compatibility build against Spring Framework 5.
The Velocity and Guava support that are deprecated in the 1.x line have
been removed and few other classes contain minor change to comply to non
backward compatible changes in Spring Framework 5.
This commit also switches the required java version to 8.
Closes gh-6977
This commit deprecates the `ws` starter in favour of a new `web-services`
starter. A deprecation warning auto-configuration has also been added to
the ws starter.
Closes gh-5711
Rename spring-boot-starter-webservices back to spring-boot-starter-ws.
Unfortunately the starter exists in Spring Boot 1.3 so we can't rename
it without consequence.
See gh-5711
Previously, the documentation included hand-written tables for the
application, production, and technical starters.
This commit replaces the hand-written tables with tables that are
generated automatically from all of the starter poms, thereby ensuring
that the documentation is automatically kept up-to-date as starters
are added and removed. An extra column provided a link to each
starter's pom on GitHub has also been added to the table. This makes
it easier for users to see exactly what each starter contains.
Closes gh-5267
Previously, the only starter that provided validation was
spring-boot-starter-web which included Hibernate Validator and
Tomcat's EL implementation. This left users writing non-web
applications to figure out the dependencies for themselves. They would
sometimes run into difficulties as Hibernate Validator's need for an
EL implementation would trip them up.
This commit adds a new starter, spring-boot-starter-validation,
which provides both Hibernate Validator and Tomcat's EL
implementation. spring-boot-starter-web has been updated to depend on
this starter rather than depending on Hibernate Validator directly.
Closes gh-2678
The package names changed a bit from the prototype project, but wuth vanilla
autconfiguration usage that shouldn't matter. Follows closely the Groovy
templates support. Templates live in classpath:/templates/*.html by default.
Fixes gh-2242
This commit adds a new starter to auto-configure a MailSender when the
necessary classes are present and when the property "spring.mail.host" is
set.
The auto-configuration also accepts any arbitrary properties that
JavaMail might need using the "spring.mail.properties" prefix.
Fixes gh-1760
Jersey 2 has some Spring support built in but it's a bit awkward to
use in a Boot app, so autoconfiguration seems appropriate. The tests
and sample show how to use it, but the short story is that any
@Component can define JAX-RS endpoints via @GET etc.
There's a sample for Jersey 1 as well (pay careful attention to
the plugin configuration if you want to build an executable jar)
Fixes gh-1651
