Previously, the only starter that provided validation was
spring-boot-starter-web which included Hibernate Validator and
Tomcat's EL implementation. This left users writing non-web
applications to figure out the dependencies for themselves. They would
sometimes run into difficulties as Hibernate Validator's need for an
EL implementation would trip them up.
This commit adds a new starter, spring-boot-starter-validation,
which provides both Hibernate Validator and Tomcat's EL
implementation. spring-boot-starter-web has been updated to depend on
this starter rather than depending on Hibernate Validator directly.
Closes gh-2678
This commit replaces Spring Boot's basic dependency management support
with separate dependency management plugin. This has a number of
benefits including:
1. A Maven bom can be used rather than a custom properties file
2. Dependency management is applied transitively rather than only to
direct dependencies
3. Exclusions are applied as they would be in Maven
4. Gradle-generated poms are automatically configured with the
appropriate dependency management
Closes gh-2133
Update all starter POMs to remove commons-logging dependencies that are
not longer required when using the Spring Boot Gradle plugin.
Mainly reverts code from 196f92bd42
See gh-1047
Gradle hasn’t different exclusion semantics to Maven. In Maven you can
exclude spring-core’s commons-logging dependency once and it’ll be
honoured even if you have multiple transitive routes to commons-logging
via spring-core. In Gradle you have to exclude commons-logging from
everything that has a transitive spring-core dependency. To make matters
worse this doesn’t only apply to dependencies and exclusions declared in
build.gradle but also to dependencies and exclusions declared in the pom
files of the artifacts that a Gradle build depends upon.
In short, to make our starters work as intended with Gradle, this commit
adds many, many exclusions for commons-logging. It also removes
commons-logging exclusions from spring-boot-dependencies’
<dependencyManagement> as they have no effect with Gradle and their
presence can cause us to miss required exclusions in a starter
Fixes#987
Update all relevant starter POMs to include a `spring-core` dependency
with an exclusion on `commons-logging`. This prevents `commons-logging`
and `jcl-over-slf4j` from both being on the classpath.
Also add enforcer rules to ensure that commons-logging doesn't sneak
back in, and that there is no dependency convergence. (some additional
libraries were required in spring-boot-dependencies)
Tested with a sample maven project as well as using the `spring jar`
command.
Fixes gh-985
This commit harmonizes the dependency management of internal modules
so that versions can be omitted everywhere. Update the maven coordinates
to provide the full groupId for consistency
