Spring boot 2.2.7 migration breaks Jaxb unmarshal - spring-boot

I have a Java 11 application that works perfectly fine with Spring Boot v2.2.6.RELEASE, but it breaks when I upgrade to v2.2.7.RELEASE. The problem is that I get a java.lang.NullPointerException when reading the nested object:
jaxbUnmarshaller.unmarshal(new StringSource(xml)).getChild().foo();
I checked the SB release notes and this seems to be the breaking change: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/21195
As migrating from Glassfish Jaxb 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 is a patch change, I would expect that this upgrade should require no changes from my side. I tried to check for some migration guide but found nothing at jaxb-ri page. Any idea would be welcome.

This sounds like a bug in the JAXB reference implementation. If you haven't already done so, I would search the RI's open issues for an existing report of your problem. If you don't find anything, I would then open an issue that describes your problem and includes a minimal sample that works with 2.3.2 and fails with 2.3.3.

Gradle, Spring Boot, spring-boot-starter-data-jpa upgrade

I am using Spring Boot version 1.5.7.RELEASE and wanted to use some of the following code for some pagination stuff something like
Pageable pageable = PageRequest.of(0, 1, org.springframework.data.domain.Sort.by(Sort.Direction.ASC, "seatNumber"));
However, my version of org.springframework.data.domain.Sort doesn't have the by method. When I update the individual JAR that has the Sort class (spring-data-commons) the compilation error goes away but I get a bunch of other errors.
So I tried doing something like this
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa:2.3.4.RELEASE'
To hopefully more "holistically" upgrade all the Spring Data pieces, but that doesn't seem to do anything (still have the old version of spring-data-commons). https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-data-jpa/2.3.4.RELEASE
I assumed by "pointing" to it would upgrade all the dependencies too but I am still on hibernate 5.0 instead of (according to the Maven repository link hibernate 5.4). Anyways in summary I would like to upgrade just the spring data pieces if that is possible, with a simple one liner, or at least understand why doing what I mentioned doesn't work.
Upgrading from Spring Boot version 1.5.7.RELEASE to version 2.3.4.RELEASE is to adventurous.
You should upgrade small piece gradually. The problem(s) will be easy to diagnostic.

Why does Spring Aspects depend on Spring ORM?

I have a project with a dependency to org.springframework:spring-aspects which used to work fine with some Spring 4.x version. Now I've updated to some Spring 5.x version and the application refuses to start with org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'persistenceUnit' available
It turned out this could be resolved by excluding the newly added dependency to org.springframework:spring-orm. Is this the expected way to solve this problem?
We hit the same thing. It seems it's a bug that's already been fixed in Spring 5.2.4 (released on Feb 25th, 2020) - see Spring Framework issue #24491.
So it seems the right thing to do, until you can pick up this release, is to exclude spring-orm as you've done.

No log messages after Spring Boot upgrade

I have recently upgraded spring boot from 1.1.10 to 1.2.0. I did not specify version information for spring boot dependencies like spring mvc. So they also got upgraded.
After upgrade, I am not able to see any log information from spring.
I am able to see the sysout and syserr information of my code though.
Did any thing change in the latest relese ?
As per the changelog Spring Boot 1.2.0 changelog Spring Boot's default behavior is to not write any log files.
Sorry folks, I have a log4j.properties in my class path. That configuration file prevented entries from springframework packages. Not sure how it ended up there though. Probably 1.1.10 is not picking it up. Things might have changed with 1.2.0. Hence the problem. Once I deleted that file, every thing is working fine
Thank you for your time

Using Jersey-spring with Spring 4.0

According to you what are the risks of using Spring 4 with the jersey-spring3 integration module?
I have tried to use Spring 4.0 with the jersey spring example and the example still works but i'm unable to identify risks linked to this usage.
I have started using Jersey 2.7 and Spring 4.0.x recently in a project. I have setup a context hierarchy to inject beans, so far, I have discovered only one limitiation but that does not seem relate to Spring 4 but rather to the module itself or the HK2 Spring Bridge.
To give more insight about my use. I have a XJC/JAXB-backed which is consumed by a common service, repository and exposed through JAX-WS, and now hopefully through JAX-RS.
The multi-context stuff works now with #Autowiredwith 2.8-SNAPSHOT. I have applied my changes and the 2.8-SNAPSHOT to 2.7. Here is the diff.
Edit (Michael-O; 2014-10-17): Here is a modified Spring module based off 2.11 with multi-context support.
Not an answer to original question, just related information
This may be a little premature, but the new Major 3.0 version of Jersey will be using Spring 4, in the new jersey-spring4 module. The new Major version will be built with Java 8. Though a new Major version will be released, the 2.x line will still be actively developed to keep support for Java 7
I'll update this post once 3.0 has been release.
For anyone interested, you can see this mailing list to see what the Jersey team has to say about the new 3.x line.
Not sure if you came across any issues but I currently face one. It is described in other thread.
Simply, using jersey-spring3 2.12 and spring 4.1.0.RELEASE in one maven project leads to following class incompatibility:

Is it possible to run Mule 2.2.1 on spring 3?

We have an application that is currently running spring 2.5.6 and mule 2.2.1. We have decided to go ahead and upgrade the app to use spring 3.2 we also upgraded spring security to 3.1. I understand that Mule 2.2.1 uses spring 2.5.6 for configuration and so forth. We were to re-factor our code and build the entire project. However after deploying the application and starting the server, my server started in about 6 seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds and then I noticed that none of my services were not loaded. Unfortunately after days of investigating I cannot find where everything fails, as there are no errors in any of the logs including spring and mule logs. My question is it possible to get these to play together or should I just forget about getting this to work.
I read this post http://lifeinide.blogspot.com/2012/07/spring-3-and-mule-2-initialized-by.html and followed these instruction and still was not able to get it work. Mule says it started up just fine without any errors but I can hit any of my services. Any help? Thanks
Thanks #genjosanzo for the pointer. It helped met dig into this issue better and eventually make it work.
#mtanzania,
We had a similar need like yours - need to make Mule 2.2.1 work with Spring 3.2.x releases. Upgrade to Mule 3 involved rewrite of Mule extensions such as exception handling strategies, a RabbitMQ Mule transport etc. Upgrade to Mule 3 was therefore ruled out.
In order to make this work, you need to rewrite/update 3 java files from your module:
groupId:org.mule.modules
artifactId:mule-module-spring-config
version:2.2.1
with implementations from :
groupId:org.mule.modules
artifactId:mule-module-spring-config
version:3.4.0
To be more specific, you need these classes to be updated/upgraded: MuleBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.java, MuleApplicationContext.java and SpringXmlConfigurationBuilder.java
With these updated versions, you can continue to create the MuleContext like:
SpringXmlConfigurationBuilder springConfigBuilder = new SpringXmlConfigurationBuilder(muleConfigPaths);
MuleContext context = new DefaultMuleContextFactory().createMuleContext(springConfigBuilder)
The modified implementations are here : Mule in Trooper and sample class that uses this is here : Trooper Mule container
Mule uses some internal spring API to parse the mule configuration and creates the correspondent beans.
For this reason the upgrade might work with spring 3.0.x but I'm pretty sure that something got broken with spring 3.1.x (i.e. this code has been introduced to maintain backward compatibility).
How about upgrading mule as well? Most of the 2.2.x syntax is still supported and many new feature has been introduced in newer mule versions.
FWIW, the above answer from #regunathb is right on. Patching in those three classes works. However, it is important to note that the 3.4 version of those classes from mule-module-spring-config will not work as-is. You must get the modified versions of the classes that #regunathb posted on GitHub, otherwise you'll end up with various incompatibilities between 3.4 and 2.2.1.
