RESThub Spring stack 2.2.0 released, first RESThub release based on spring 4.1.1. It also allows to choose the database connection pool.

New features

Breaking Changes

  • New connection pooling features introduce breaking changes on database configuration. Old database.properties file was split into two new files: datasource.properties for all options related to connection pool and database provider and persistence.properties for all options related to JPA and Hibernate. See documentation for details.
  • RESThub allows to choose your connection pool and you now must activate a dedicated spring profile to your WebAppInitializer. See documentation for details.
  • We switched from ResthubView to new Spring 4.0 JsonView for custom Json Views

See below for a complete migration guide.

Migration guide

Because of described breaking changes, you will have to follow these steps in order to migrate to RESThub 2.2.0:

  1. add resthub-pool-bonecp to your spring active profiles :

    XmlWebApplicationContext appContext = new XmlWebApplicationContext();
appContext.getEnvironment().setActiveProfiles("resthub-jpa", "resthub-pool-bonecp", "resthub-web-server");

    NB : If you want to switch to hikaricp, please follow this documentation

  2. split your existing database.properties into a datasource.properties and a persistence.properties as explained here.

  3. If any, search and replace all your references to JSON ResthubView by Spring 4 JsonView.
