Getting Error while trying to up upgrade spring version from 5.1 to 5.2

Question

Facing this issue while trying to upgrade spring from 5.1 to 5.2

enter image description here

enter image description here

@Configuration public class WebMvcConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport {

@Override
public RequestMappingHandlerMapping requestMappingHandlerMapping() {
    final RequestMappingHandlerMapping handlerMapping = super.requestMappingHandlerMapping();
    handlerMapping.setUseSuffixPatternMatch(false);
    handlerMapping.setUseTrailingSlashMatch(false);
    return handlerMapping;
}

}

This issue is setUseSuffixPatternMatch() method is deprecated from 5.2 version but can be used by giving arguments as false. I have given 'false' as argument but getting this error.

Is there any replacement methods for this methods.

And also I tried to remove setUseSuffixPatternMatch() method but I got this error

[18,66] method requestMappingHandlerMapping in class org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurationSupport cannot be applied to given types; [ERROR] required: org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManager,org.springframework.format.support.FormattingConversionService,org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.ResourceUrlProvider

I'm not understanding why requestMappingHandlerMapping is not working when I try to upgrade spring 5.1 to 5.2

Answer 1

Instead of these deprecated methods you can use the updated ones. PFB the link which gives you detailed information about the new methods available for the class.

https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/servlet/mvc/method/annotation/RequestMappingHandlerMapping.html

Instead of these deprecated methods you can use the updated ones. PFB

public RequestMappingHandlerMapping requestMappingHandlerMapping(**ContentNegotiationManager mvcContentNegotiationManager,                                                       FormattingConversionService mvcConversionService,                                                                    ResourceUrlProvider mvcResourceUrlProvider**) {

    RequestMappingHandlerMapping handler = super.requestMappingHandlerMapping(m**vcContentNegotiationManager,
            mvcConversionService,
            mvcResourceUrlProvider**);

    handler.setUseSuffixPatternMatch(false);
    handler.setAlwaysUseFullPath(true);
    return handler;
}

You can use the next block:

@Override
public RequestMappingHandlerMapping createRequestMappingHandlerMapping() {
    final RequestMappingHandlerMapping handlerMapping = super.createRequestMappingHandlerMapping();
    handlerMapping.setUseSuffixPatternMatch(false);
    handlerMapping.setUseTrailingSlashMatch(false);
    return handlerMapping;
}

They only renamed the method

requestMappingHandlerMapping --> createRequestMappingHandlerMapping
