Logback documentation explains how to initialize the logging system and
namely how the `logback.configurationFile` system property can be used to
specify the configuration file to use.
Spring Boot has an abstraction on top of that. A user can define the
`logging.path` property regardless of the logging infrastructure it is
using.
Users following the logback documentation can be confused at first so
we're not logging a warning when we found out that the logback specific
property has been specified.

Previously, the launch script would always use a file named
<appname>.log to capture the application's console output. This commit
adds a variable, LOG_FILENAME, for specifying the file name defaulting
to <appname>.log.

Commit adf2c44b was an attempt to prevent HSQLDB from throwing an
exception when the JVM exits. This was achieved by disabling the
application context’s shutdown hook in the tests. This had the unwanted
side effect of causing tests’ application contexts not to be closed. The
reported symptom was that @Destroy methods were no longer being invoked.
We need a different solution to the problem.
The exception was:
Caused by: org.hsqldb.HsqlException: Database lock acquisition failure: attempt to connect while db opening /closing
at org.hsqldb.error.Error.error(Unknown Source)
at org.hsqldb.error.Error.error(Unknown Source)
at org.hsqldb.error.Error.error(Unknown Source)
at org.hsqldb.DatabaseManager.getDatabase(Unknown Source)
at org.hsqldb.DatabaseManager.newSession(Unknown Source)
... 23 common frames omitted
I originally thought this was due to a race between the application
context’s shutdown hook and HSQLDB’s shutdown hook, however HSQLDB
doesn’t use a shutdown hook. I believe that the problem is due to
an HSQLDB database being created with shutdown=true in its URL, similar
to the problem described here [1]. This will shut down the database when
the last connection to it is closed, however the shutdown will happen
asynchronously. If the JVM then runs the application context’s shutdown
hook, EmbeddedDatabaseFactory will attempt to connect to the database to
execute the SHUTDOWN command. This executes synchronously but will race
with the asynchronous shutdown that’s executing as a result of
shutdown=true in the JDBC url and the last connection to the database
being closed.
This commit reinstates the use of application context shutdown hooks in
the tests, and updates the documentation to recommend that, if a user
manually configures the URL for their embedded database, they do so
in such a way that the database doesn’t shutdown automatically, thereby
allowing the shutdown to be driven by application context close.

Spring Security 4’s default configuration will, irrespective of any
other header writers that are added, enable writers for the following
headers:
- X-Content-Type
- X-XSS-Protection
- Cache-Control
- X-Frame-Options
Previously, SecurityProperties.headers used false as the default for the
properties that enable or disable these headers but the configuration is
only applied when the properties are true. This left us with the right
default behaviour (the headers are enabled) but meant that the
properties could not be used to switch off the headers.
This commit changes the defaults for the four properties to true and
updates SpringBootWebSecurityConfiguration to only apply the
configuration when the properties are false. This leaves us with the
desired defaults while allowing users to disable one or more of the
properties by setting the relevant property to false.
Closes gh-3517
So far we have wrongly advertized that the `spring-boot-starter-parent`
filters application configuration in such a way that standard Spring
placeholders are not processed.
In order to achieve such feature, the `useDefaultDelimiters` property
must be set to `false` as otherwise default delimiters are appended to
the list of custom delimiters.
This property is not enabled so that only keys surrounded by `@` are
filtered by the build.

Prior to 8.0.28 Tomcat required the key store and trust store (if any)
to be available directly on the filesystem, i.e. classpath: resources
would not work. Tomcat 8.0.28 removed this limitation.
This commit updates to Tomcat 8.0.28, updates the tests to verify
the new Tomcat capability and removes the obsolete documentation of
the restriction.
Closes gh-4048
Previously, if Solr 5 was on the classpath, SolrAutoConfiguration
would fail with a rather cryptic error message due to a change in the
inheritance hierarchy of CloudSolrServer between Solr 4 and Solr 5.
This commit updates SolrAutoConfiguration to be conditional on a
class that exists in Solr 4 but was removed in Solr 5. This has the
effect of switching off the auto-configuration when Solr 5 is on
the classpath, allowing the auto-configuration report to be used to
identify why the configuration was disabled. The documentation has
also been updated to state that Spring Boot does not currently support
Solr 5.0.
Closes gh-2795
This commit adds a new property, logging.register-shutdown-hook, that
when set to true, will cause LoggingApplicationListener to register
a shutdown hook the first time it initializes a logging system. When
the JVM exits, the shutdown hook shuts down each of the supported
logging systems, ensuring that all of their appenders have been
flushed and closed.
Closes gh-4026
This commit changes the new mode-based configuration to use two new
methods – setBannerMode on SpringApplication and bannerMode on
SpringApplicationBuilder. The old methods, setShowBanner and
showBanner on SpringApplication and SpringApplicationBuilder
respectively, have been reinstated and deprecated.
Closes gh-4001
This commit adds the option to output the banner using the logger
instead of standard out. Rather than taking a boolean
spring.main.show-banner is now configured using an enum. Three values
are supported:
- LOG: the banner is logged
- CONSOLE: the banner is printed to standard out (previously true)
- OFF: the banner is switched off (previously false)
The default behavior remains unchanged; the banner will be printed to
standard out.
Closes gh-4022

Add `error.include-stacktrace` configuration option to determine when
stack trace attributes should be added. Options are `never`, `always`
or `on-trace-param`.
Prior to this commit stacktrace attributes were never includes in HTML
responses, and only included in JSON responses when a `trace` request
parameter was set to `true`. This has now been changed so that,
by default, stacktrace attributes are never included.
The BasicErrorController includes a protected method that can be
overridden if includes should be different depending on the `produces`
mapping.

Provide a general purpose Hazelcast integration (i.e. not tied to caching).
Auto-configure a `HazelcastInstance` either based on the presence of a

Spring MVC requires all handlers for the same path to be on the same handler
so if anyone wants to add new handlers for different content types they
have to copy a lot of code from BasicErrorController. This change increases
the visibility of the basic utility methods in BasicErrorController so that
custom handlers can be added easily.

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.
Previously, native cache libraries were favored over a standard JSR-107
implementation. If a user has a working setup using JCache with one
provider and switch to another provider, his setup may be broken if we
happen to provide a native support for the new provider.
We now consistently favor JSR-107 if it is present. Native support can
still be enabled via the `spring.cache.type` property.
Closes gh-3822
Previously, manual meta-data were added to the existing set of entries
which could lead to duplicates if a manual entry is meant to complement
a property that is detected via the processor.
We now match the name and type of the item against the auto-detected

If a match is found we override the description, default value and
deprecation information.

The default value of `spring.devtools.restart.exclude` is quite long and

Previously, only folders on the classpath would be watched and used
to trigger a restart/reload of the application. This commit adds a
new property spring.devtools.restart.additional-paths that can be

reload will be triggered, depending on the full restart exclude
patterns configured via the existing spring.devtools.restart.exclude

Three conditions must be met for the console to be enabled:
- H2 is on the classpath
- The application is a web application
- spring.h2.console.enabled is set to true
If spring-boot-devtools is on the classpath, spring.h2.console.enabled
will be set to true automatically. Without the dev tools, the enabled
property will have to be set to true in application.properties.
By default, the console is available at /h2-console. This can be
configured via the spring.h2.console.path property. The value of this
property must begin with a '/'.
When Spring Security is on the classpath the console will be secured
based on the user's security.* configuration. When the console is
secured, CSRF protection is disabled and frame options is set to
SAMEORIGIN for its path. Both settings are required in order for the
console to function.

Currently, the default TemplateResolver had no specific order. Thymeleaf
handles that with a "always first" strategy (that can be confusing if
several TemplateResolver have a "null" order.

is defined in the project.
The `spring.thymeleaf.template-resolver-order` property has been added to

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, the Spring Boot Gradle plugin would always apply the
application plugin to a project. It then piggy-backed on the application
plugin’s mainClassName and applicationDefaultJvmArgs properties for the
configuration of the bootRun task.
This commit updates the Spring Boot Gradle plugin so that it no longer
applies the application plugin. If the user applies the application
plugin then its configuration will be used, but it’s a no longer
requirement.
Users who do not need the application plugin, but who were using the
mainClassName or applicationDefaultJvmArgs properties will need to
change their builds as a result of this change as those properties will
no longer exist. As before, the mainClassName can be configured on the
springBoot extension:
springBoot {
mainClassName 'com.example.YourApplication'
}
The applicationDefaultJvmArgs property can be used, but it must now be
declared with the project's ext block. For example:
ext {
applicationDefaultJvmArgs = [ '-Dcom.example.property=true' ]
}
Closes gh-2679
Update Tomcat, Jetty and Undertow to serialize session data when the
