As of Spring Framework 5.3, it is now possible to use `PathPatternParser`
to parse and match request mapping path patterns, as an alternative to
the current default `AntPathMatcher`.
This new implementation has been used for a while in Spring WebFlux and
it’s been designed for consistency and performance.
This commit introduces a new configuration property for opting-in this
new variant:
`spring.mvc.pathmatch.matching-strategy=path_pattern_parser`
The default option is still `ant_path_matcher` for now, but we might
change the default in future versions since Spring Framework considers
it the best choice for modern applications.
There are several behavior differences with this new variant:
* double wildcards `"**"` are rejected when used in the middle patterns,
this is only allowed as the last matching segment in a pattern.
* it is incompatible with some path matching options, like
suffix-pattern, registered-suffix-pattern or configuring a Servlet
prefix on the `DispatcherServlet` (`spring.mvc.servlet.path=/test`)
This commit introduces two `FailureAnalyzer` implementations to guide
developers when facing those issues.

Previously, spring-boot-docs used the java-base-plugin and then added
configuration on top. This has proven to be error prone, with the most
recent problem being that the tests were not being compiled and run.
This commit changes approach and applies the java plugin to the project
instead of the java-base plugin. Now, rather than adding the necessary
configuration to the base, the unwanted pieces of the java plugin's
configuration – specifically the jar and javadoc tasks – are disabled
instead. The DeployedPlugin has also been updated so that it does not
create a publication from the java component for projects that have a
disabled jar task.
Closes gh-22284
Previously, the configuration property table generation was reading
both the main metadata and the additional metadata from each project.
This was unnecessary as the annotation processor will have already
merged the additional metadata into the main metadata before writing
it to disk. Processing both the main and additional metadata led to
a clash as the metadata overlapped. When the entry in the additional
metadata won the clash, the resulting entry in the configuration
property table would lose any details that aren't contained in the
additional metadata.
This commit updates the property table generation code to only use
the main metadata files.
Fixes gh-21131
Previously, Spring Boot's modules published Gradle Module Metadata
(GMM) the declared a platform dependency on spring-boot-dependencies.
This provided versions for each module's own dependencies but also had
they unwanted side-effect of pulling in spring-boot-dependencies
constraints which would influence the version of other dependencies
declared in the same configuration. This was undesirable as users
should be able to opt in to this level of dependency management, either
by using the dependency management plugin or by using Gradle's built-in
support via a platform dependency on spring-boot-dependencies.
This commit reworks how Spring Boot's build uses
spring-boot-dependencies and spring-boot-parent to provide its own
dependency management. Configurations that aren't seen by consumers are
configured to extend a dependencyManagement configuration that has an
enforced platform dependency on spring-boot-parent. This enforces
spring-boot-parent's version constraints on Spring Boot's build without
making them visible to consumers. To ensure that the versions that
Spring Boot has been built against are visible to consumers, the
Maven publication that produces pom files and GMM for the published
modules is configured to use the resolved versions from the module's
runtime classpath.
Fixes gh-21911
This commit mentions the `management.health.probes.enabled`
configuration property in the Kubernetes Probes section of the Actuator
chapter.
Enabling this property is required if we need to expose Kubernetes
Probes in a non-Kubernetes environment.
Fixes gh-21505
This commit adds the support for static and templated welcome pages with
Spring WebFlux. The implementation is backed by a `RouterFunction`
that's serving a static `index.html` file or rendering an `index` view.
Closes gh-9785
Prior to this commit, the published Maven POMs would not pass the Maven
Central mandatory checks.
This commit adds the missing project name and description metadata for
most artifacts. The Spring Boot Gradle plugin artifact was also missing
this information and this is now added in the plugin metadata itself.
This is also updating the project page URL which is now hosted directly
on spring.io.
Fixes gh-21457
This commit restricts how wildcards can be used in search
locations for property files. If a search location contains
a pattern, there must be only one '*' and the location should
end with a '*/'. For search locations that specify the file
name, the pattern should end with '*/<filename>'.
The list of files read from wildcard locations are now sorted
alphabetically according to the absolute path of the file.
Closes gh-21217
Previously, the developmentOnly configuration, typically used for
Devtools, had to be declared manually. The BootJar and BootWar tasks
then had a property, excludeDevtools, that could be used to control
whether or not Devtools would be excluded from the executable archive.
This commit updates the reaction to the Java plugin being applied to
automatically create the developmentOnly configuration. The classpaths
of bootJar and bootWar are then configured not to include the contents
of the developmentOnly configuration. As a result of this, the
excludeDevtools property is no longer needed and has been deprecated.
Its default has also been changed from true to false to make it easy
to opt in to Devtools, when configured as a development-only
dependency, being included in executable jars and wars by adding
developmentOnly to the classpath of the archive task.
Closes gh-16599
This commit removes the support for Reactor Netty metrics since it
seems that Spring Boot should not use this feature:
* HTTP metrics are already covered by WebFlux
* TCP metrics are only meant to TCP server/clients
* allocator metrics are already provided by Netty and there is
no specific API to enable them here.
Closes gh-19388
This commit enables the production of TCP and buffer allocator metrics
for Reactor Netty, client and server.
When applications use auto-configured server
(`NettyReactiveWebServerFactory`) and client (through
`WebClient.Builder`) instances, metrics will be enabled.
Note that HTTP metrics are not enabled here, since similar metrics are
already produced at the WebFlux level. Also, to avoid cardinality
explosion of metrics (through the URI tag), Reactor Netty offers
configurable infrastructure to deduplicate URI tags by turning expanded
URI instances into templated URIs. This is not targeted for Spring
usage.
Closes gh-19388
Improve "@ConfigurationProperties vs. @Value" documentation with the
recommendation that kebab-case is used with the `@Value` annotation.
Closes gh-20507
When using constructor binding, if no properties are bound to
a nested property, the top-level instance will be created with a
null value for the nested property.
This commit introduces support for an empty `@DefaultValue` which
indicates that an instance of the nested property must be created
even if nothing is bound to it. It honors any `@DefaultValue`
annotations that the nested property might have in its constructor.
Closes gh-18917
Rework the rename logic used to include the reference PDF to try
and workaround the following local build error:
Encountered duplicate path "reference/pdf/spring-boot-reference.pdf"
during copy operation configured with DuplicatesStrategy.FAIL
See gh-20829
This commit combines index adoc files for single-page HTML and PDF
into one file to remove duplication. It also renames index files to
reflect the separation between source format and generated output
format.
Finishes gh-20829
This commit moves Maven plugin content from several sections in the
main Spring Boot reference documentation to the plugin-specific
documentation.
