Update the samples and integration tests to use Java 8. There's no
specific reason to keep them on Java 6 and it helps keep Eclipse happy
if we upgrade.
Given that Spring Boot uses java config accross the board, a new `value`
attribute is now aliased to the existing `classes` attribute such that
one could write the following:
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(MyConfig.class)
public class MyTest {}
Closes gh-3635
Migrate `spring.view.prefix` and `spring.view.suffix` to
`spring.mvc.view.prefix` and `spring.mvc.view.suffix` respectively. The
former properties are still handled in a backward compatible way and are
defined as deprecated in the meta-data.
Closes gh-3250
Previously, the documentation only provided examples of the required
configuration for Maven users. This commit adds equivalent configuration
snippets for those using Gradle. It also removes the recommendation to
override the version of the Servlet API as this is unnecessary. The pom
files for the Jetty 8 and Tomcat 7 samples have also been updated
accordingly.
Closes gh-2346
Update MongoDataAutoConfiguration to provide easier configuration of
CustomConversions, the MappingMongoConverter, MongoMappingContext
and an authentication database.
Fixes gh-1619
Fixes gh-1730
Switch the Tomcat 8 and Jetty 9 samples to Tomcat 7 and Jetty 8. Since
Tomcat 8 and Jetty 9 are now the default versions the previous samples
are no longer relevant, however, we do need integration tests to check
that we remain compatible with Tomcat 7 and Jetty 8.
See gh-1832
