Upgraded to Spring Boot 3 (yes i am late). Found out `@PreAuthorize is a decorative corpse`. You now need `@EnableMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)` to reanimate it. Laughable.

Thankfully, I had tests. Which is ironic, because I wanted to test my code, not Spring’s trust issues.

This dev experience? Trash tier. Writing one annotation to enable another? That’s not configuration—that’s a scavenger hunt in a haunted house. 👻🔍

Annotations should do something when you use them. Not wait for permission like a guilty intern. Imagine you would have to add a Junit annotation to tell, that test failures are thrown.

Should’ve just gone full auth(request) at every endpoint. More stable. Less betrayal.

This week I've had some hands on practice with #SpringBoot3. I'm still not excited with building things using #frameworks but I'm making an effort to learn.

I did find one thing that I actually think is pretty nice. When you launch an application made in Spring Boot the console output generates a banner which is ok, but then I found out you can change that banner. All you need is an #ASCII_Art file and to tell the application the name of the file, and that's all there is to it.

Privates Kotlin Rumspielprojekt erfolgreich auf Spring Boot 3.2 und Java 21 gebracht.

Lösung für die meisten Probleme war:
1. Gradle selbst mit Java 20 laufen zu lassen
2. Die Java Toolchain im gradlescript per

java {
toolchain {
languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(21)
}
}

auf 21 zu setzen. Aktuell scheint das noch nicht im Spring Initialzr so drin zu sein.

Let's update our dumb API gateway from #SpringBoot 2 to #SpringBoot3. Should be a walk in the park!

… one week later: 😱

Some package for #SpringBoot3 not getting pulled properly and screwing up my integration tests just made my day! 😅

#java #SpringBootMigration #JDK17 #SoftwareDevelopment

Started the #SpringBoot3 #Java17 migration for a JAR library today. It's a REST API client using #springwebflux for a vendor proxy service. Almost done.

A few more applications to go. Well, it's a team effort, so I have one more assigned to me. Might work on that #OpenShift #ConfigMap update. We'll see.
